Tottenham can bring themselves in top three, but Manchester United is blocking the way. Match of the week is taking place on White Hart Lane.

 Premier League Round 23
White Hart Lane
20-01-2013 @ 16.00 GMT

How is the two teams form?

Tottenham is unbeaten in the last six matches, playing a draw against Queens Park Rangers in the weekend. The North Londoners are currently positioned 4 with 40 points for 22 matches and a goalscorer of +12. The clubs topscorer is Jermain Defoe with 10 goals.

Manchester United have not lost in ten matches after their 2-1 win against Liverpool on Sunday. The Reds are currently positioned 1 in the Premier League with 55 points for 22 matches and a goalscorer of +27. 17 of these goals are scored by Robin van Persie, positioned number 1 on the topscorer list in the Premier League.

What is the probable starting XI?

Tottenham will definitively have to do without William Gallas and Younes Kaboul while Sandro is doubtful due to a knee injury. For Manchester United, are Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic and Ashley Young all doubtful for the weekends match.

Walker - Dawson - Vertonghen - Naughton

What to expect from this match?

Manchester United seems unstoppable at the moment, with van Persie continuing his goal spree. However, they were in trouble in the second half against Liverpool, and Spurs might have a chance against a poor defense. Tottenham had most of the play against QPR but could not break through the Rangers defense wall. They will have to do better if they want anything with them from this match!

Manchester United are favorites in this match, and I believe we will see them win by at least one or two goals.

What are the odds?

The bookmakers have Manchester United as favorites, with the best odds at 6/4 from Pinnacle. Paddy Power gives back a 21/10 for a draw while a Spurs victory gives a 5/2 at Skybet. Personally, I could see Manchester win this 2-0, to odds 16 at BetVictor.
