BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Tottenham and Manchester United square up to each other for the second
time in a week. Last Sunday, the Red Devils knocked the north Londoners
out of the FA Cup with a clinical 3-1 victory, courtesy of a brace from
Cristiano Ronaldo, and a Carlos Tevez goal. Tottenham's Michael Dawson
also got his marching orders after Robbie Keane had put the visitors in
front at Old Trafford.
＊ By kick-off time, United may have been knocked off the top of the table
once again by Arsenal. But they go into this match bidding for a fifth
straight victory in the Premier League and a seventh in a row in all
competitions.
＊ Juande Ramos is looking for a seven maximum from his 14th Premier League
game in charge. Spurs are challenging for a fifth league win in a row at
the Lane.
＊ These clubs have been awarded more penalties in the Premier League than
any others; six each, of which United have converted four, and Spurs
three.
＊ If United notch a 24th Premier League victory over Spurs they will
complete an eighth double over them in this league and second in
successive seasons.
