MATCH PREVIEW
- Unbeaten but five points behind leaders Chelsea, Manchester United have
already drawn more games this season than they did in the whole of the last
campaign.
- A 2-2 draw against West Brom in United's last league game at Old Trafford
was particularly damaging, given that the hosts had been 2-0 up. United's
hopes of a record 19th league title were dented there and then.
- It was the sort of result to give Tottenham hope that they can end their
long barren run at Old Trafford. You have to go back to 1989 to find the
last time Spurs won there, just five months after Gareth Bale was born.
- Bale has been in sensational form of late, although Everton's Phil Neville
did a good job keeping him quiet in the 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane last
week. Phil's brother Gary - who could make his 400th Premier League
appearance on Saturday - will have taken note.

Lawro' Premier League predictions United 2-1 Tottenham
It has been quite a week or so for United regarding Wayne Rooney. But while
that has been going on they have managed three wins from three games.
It will be interesting to see how Spurs perform but one thing is for certain,
Harry Redknapp will make sure his team attack the opposition.
The problem for them is that United's confidence has returned.
