Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur

"Tottenham has become a cup-specialist team overnight.."

- Gary, 27 Jan 2008

Kudos to Tottenham for demolishing Arsenal 5-1 to reach Carling Cup Final for the first time! And out of sudden, Tottenham has become a cup-specialist team overnight, taking the same identity like Chelsea and Liverpool.

Juande Ramos have an impressive cup record since in Sevilla. But one fact remained, Tottenham have not won at Old Trafford since 1989.

At the last count since Saturday's match have ended, there is only 5 Premiership's teams left, not counting Sunday's fixtures. The chances of facing lower leagues team are quite high, provided we pass through Tottenham.

Man Utd's Team News: Paul Scholes is back in contention. But i dont think he will be rush for this match. Most likely, he will be in the midweek game against Portsmouth. A youth named Danny Welbeck is promoted to the first team after Man Utd Youth is dumped out of the FA Youth Cup. Gary Neville is still out.

Tottenham's Team News: Darren Bent and Gareth Bale are out. Anthony Gardner is back. Paul Robinson is been left out.

Odds and Analysis: With Man Utd giving 1 ball handicap at 1.85, the best is to avoid it. Match stats between these two teams at Old Trafford is settled by the odd goal.
