Really is too tight to call a clear winner, we will give them problems and they will cause us problems. Both sides will score, but as in recent years we have started to get rid of so called 'hoodoos' we may just get rid of this one tomorrow. I reckon Defoe will score for us and probably either Berbatov or Rooney for United.
Hope it's a great game to watch and not overshadowed by poor refereeing decisions, like a few games down the years between Spurs and United. Mendes' non goal springs to mind, along with the Carrick penalty a couple of years ago, and yes I know we lost 5-2 and that was just 1 of the goals, I still think our mentality was not strong enough that day to cope with United's momentum after that incident. We have a much tougher mentality nowadays though, proven by the comebacks against Inter and Arsenal, wins with 10 men against Villa (may I add away from home) and Newcastle. I think the Everton result was a blip due to fatigue from the 3 games beforehand, which included the games against Villa and Newcastle.
After resting key players against Charlton, I feel we will be refreshed and ready for the challenge ahead tomorrow. With home crowd buzzing and Bale, VDV, Defoe, Modric, Lennon, Dawson, and (hopefully) Gomes, we will certainly not be pushovers and may very well end the unbeaten streak.
2-1 will be the scoreline, who gets the 2 goals that wins the game is anybody's guess really.
