Sunday Best!!






"footballs best kept secret"


It's hard to get away from Manchester United at a shade of odds-on to win the three points in this and we'll supplement that with the draw/United double result at 4/1.





The Premiership leaders have been in awesome form all season and no one has come close to their performances away from home.
They've won 26 points from a possible 36 on their travels and also head into this match knowing they've triumphed in their last five games at White Hart Lane.

Sir Alex Ferguson has also had the luxury of being able to give key men a rest in the last couple of weeks and it's no coincidence that two of those, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, have been in sublime form and responsible for six of United's last eight goals.
A few weeks ago a trip to White Hart Lane would have been a real test but Spurs' aura of invincibility in front of their own fans has now been shattered.





They hadn't been beaten there since August but that run came to an end at the end of December when Liverpool won 1-0 and they've since contrived to lose 3-2 to Newcastle.
There's also Wednesday night's demoralising defeat at the hands of their fiercest rivals' second string XI to factor in as Arsenal reached the Carling Cup final at their expense.
Added to which there are doubts over three of their most influential players.

Skipper and defensive lynchpin Ledley King continues to struggle with a foot injury, striker Dimitar Berbatov (six goals already at home in the Premiership this term) has a groin problem and Aaron Lennon missed out in midweek through illness.
That's hardly the ideal shape to be in before taking on the Premiership leaders and we'd be surprised if United aren't able to take advantage.
It might just be worth backing the draw/United double result as well because there's been a marked pattern to the Red Devils' eight away successes.







In no fewer than five of those it was level at the break before United surged clear in the second half and it's been noticeable in recent weeks that Spurs have struggled in the latter stages of games.








That problem could be exacerbated by 120 minutes of football on Wednesday night so the 4/1 looks well worth an interest.
