BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Manchester United have made their worst start to a Premier League
campaign since the inaugural season in 1992-93.
＊ The Red Devils have never had fewer than four points after the first
four matches of a Premier League campaign.
＊ Sir Alex Ferguson's side have not won in five league outings, and
scored just one goal in the five matches.
＊ This is a massively important game for Tottenham manager Martin Jol.
Spurs have only registered one win against any of the so-called "Big
Four" since the Dutchman took over just under three years ago; that
victory being 2-1, home to Chelsea on 5 November 2006.
＊ United have not suffered back-to-back defeats in 84 Premier League matches.
＊ Spurs have never won a Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
CLUB FORM
1. One of three clubs to have scored just one Premier League goal so far.
The others are Aston Villa and West Ham.
2. One of five clubs still searching for a first Premier League victory.
The others are Aston Villa, Birmingham, Bolton and Derby.
3. Lost 1-0, away to local rivals Manchester City last time out. They've
not suffered successive league defeats since Norwich (a) and Everton (a)
defeated them on 9 and 20 April 2005 respectively.
4. Picked up just three points from a last possible 15, since beating
Manchester City at Eastlands on 5 May.
5. Gone six games since scoring more than a single goal in a game - the
longest current such run by any club in the Premier League. They last
netted more than one in the 4-2 home win over Everton on 28 April.
6. Defeat here would make this the clubs' worst ever start under Sir Alex
Ferguson.
7. Entering the weekend in 16th spot - their lowest since the first few
weeks of the first ever Premier League season in 1992.
8. Dropped only seven points in their first 17 games last season.
9. Not won a home league game for over four months, since the 2-0 eclipse
of Sheffield United on 17 April.
10. A home clash with Roy Keane's Sunderland is the next fixture after this.
KEY PLAYER NOTES
＊ Paul SCHOLES has netted Manchester United's only goal so far. His strike
against Portsmouth made him the club's highest Premier League scorer with
96 goals. Ryan GIGGS has 93.
＊ GIGGS has scored seven times in Premier League matches against Tottenham,
including one in their first ever meeting in this league on 19 September
1992, which ended 1-1.
＊ SCHOLES has scored four league goals, and one in the FA Cup, against
Tottenham.
＊ GIGGS is a double short of 100 career League goals.
＊ If he plays:-
＊ Michael CARRICK will be facing a former club. The 26 year old England
international midfielder made 75 appearances (64 in the league) and
scored two league goals for Spurs between August 2004 and his ￡18.6m
move to Old Trafford in July last year.
＊ If on the field from the outset:-
＊ Edwin VAN DER SAR will be making his 200th career Premier League start
(Fulham and Manchester United).
＊ John O'SHEA will be making his 200th start for Manchester United.
＊ Suspended: Cristiano RONALDO (two matches)
HEAD TO HEAD
＊ Manchester United are unbeaten in 12 Premier League games against
Tottenham (10 wins, two draws), winning the last three.
＊ Spurs last beat United in the closing game of the 2000-01 season, when
Les Ferdinand added to Willem Korsten's brace in a 3-1 victory.
＊ The Londoners' only triumph in 29 annual top flight visits to Old Trafford
was 0-1 on 16 December 1989 when Gary Lineker scored an historic winner.
Since then Tottenham have drawn four and lost 13 of 17 League trips.
