  This will be a very difficult match for united. Away games are already hard enough these days... And Spurs are a on form team currently and with Woodgate, Gilberto and Hutton added to their defence... I guess it could be a draw... Just hope our good neighbour City can hold up the gunners too...

  Tottenham v Man Utd

  Gilberto and Alan Hutton could both make their Tottenham debuts in the home match against Manchester United.

  Defender Ledley King is being assessed to determine whether he will be ready, while striker Darren Bent (knee) has been edging closer to fitness.

  Ryan Giggs, Carlos Tevez and Owen Hargreaves are pushing to return to the Manchester United starting XI following the midweek win over Portsmouth.

  Louis Saha (knee) and Gary Neville (ankle) remain sidelined.

• Tottenham asssistant manager Gus Poyet:
  "We're at home so no matter who the opposition is, we want the three points. And we need three points, three points and three points in the games that follow.

  "That has to be the mentality now if we want to break into the top 10.

  "We have to control the game and not give United the chance to break, they are very good at that so if we push too many men forward, it will give Ronaldo, Rooney and co that chance.

  "We need to control possession and not give away the ball, because those players need the ball."
