United travel to White Hart Lane expecting a tough contest







I guess,nearly all United fan will be looking forward to this game ,come Sunday at the White Hart Lane.Last season United could never beat Spurs,thanks to some inspired performances by the likes of Gareth Bale and Clint Dempsey and some hopeless defending by United.This time around,we will travel to North London a bit high on morale and confidence,while Spurs will be facing us extremely low on morale.Although we should be wary of the fact that although Spurs are placed at the 9th spot but on their day they can make you look like idiots.They will be back from their 6-0 drubbing on the hands of our noisy neighbors while we handed a 5-0 thrashing to Bayer Leverkusen 2 days ago in Germany.So,the Spurs vs United clash on Sunday presents a fascinating contrast of two sides who need a win.


The good news (sorry, but I love Eriksen,gws Eriksen)for United is that the epitome of great speed and skill has left their side and the new epitome of passing and vision is out injured.United should be able to capitalize on their defensive problems and lack of creativity in midfield and even Spurs can take advantage of United's midfield problems.But the pair of Giggsy and Phil did perform well at the BayArena on Wednesday and moreover,Clevz and Fellaini have been a bit below par this season.Rvp is still a doubt for Sunday but Shinji's "antics" in the midfield should be tough for Tottenham to handle and especially with Wazza up front.




In the formation beside,I chose the pair of Jones and Fellaini as Jones(also being a Centre back) has a tendency to drop back while Fellaini loves to move forward and he links up well with wingers and others around him.I won't prefer Nani(no personal grudges) as the Leverkusen game was a bit less important than this one and a victory will be a target for Moyes.Kagawa should  play as a left winger and Evra,being quick and agile can surge into the box if Shinji drifts into the middle.But in case,Shinji does that Jones can perform his defensive duties and there will more chances being created.Wazza's role will be central to United's performance on Sunday as he can take up nearly every job in the park ranging from acting as a playmaker,scoring,blocking out runs and performing defensive duties



It should be a tough and tricky contest for the Red Devils but I get the feeling that we have a much better side than Spurs ,who  have thus far failed to accommodate the new recruits in the side.The  potential goalscoring threats will be Roberto Soldado and Gylfi Sigurdsson who understand each other well and link up well up front.But the likes of Vida,Ferdy,Jonny should (will) close them down well.

So,I'll predict a 1-0 or a 2-0 victory for United
