I think Utd have the hardest game of all 3 of the top teams.

I really don't expect anything but wins from Chelsea Arsenal, but Spurs are firing on all 4 cyclinders at the moment.

Isnt Spurs at home one of those games that United religiously win though? They are also firing on all cylinders, and I would wager any day that their run will go on longer than Spurs'. Three wins for the top three.

Yeah, but Spurs have been a difficult team on their travels this season. Only 5 goals conceded away from home (joint best record with Chelsea) and despite only scoring seven goals, have won 5 and drawn 2 of their 10 away games so far.

Add to that our current form (6 wins and a draw in 7) and ManYoo's striker shortage, and this looks like as good a time as any for us to buck the trend. Paddy Power had Spurs at 13-2 yesterday which is a ridiculous price for a top flight game (remember Fulham anyone?) and 3-1 the draw, which is a very good bet methinks.

All that aside, ManYoo are the form team at the moment (22 points from their last 8 games) and with Giggs and Scholes on fire again, it should be a cracking match.

C'mon ye Spurs!

I would be worried about spurs too they were very impressive yesterday. That said United defence will be a lot tougher to breach that Everton.

Whats the story with Defoe, he could cause us problems but he didn't play yeaterday. Was he being rested or is he on the move or injured?

Spurs are still available at 13/2, the draw has gone into 14/5, but very generous odds.

Spurs to win 0-1 with Keane or Kanoute to score 1st is 80/1! Worth a euro. Defoe at 0-1 is 50/1. Mind you United are very rarely held scorless at OT.

I heard it's a knee injury that defoe has. last minute he was pulled out of the everton game! didn't hear any return date for him. hopefully against Man Utd. He is capable of scoring against any team at any time!

Jaysus this Christmas period is like the football equivalent of the Grand National, just hoping your team don't fall at one of the fences.

Now I am in the horrible position of hoping Spuds win their next game :eek:

Yeah, but my dad insists you can get BBC Five on AM if you have a big aerial, or else on cable Radio. If you really want to listen.

p.s. they is showing signs of a 1-1 draw
Norwich to score in the second half because of the sun, and Liverpool to eventually break through

I just saw that Campbell is out for Arsenal, I think Arsenal might draw now, losing a cheap goal

I was wondering, do I want Arsenal to win? Is it better for United if Arsenal win, and keep double the pressure on Chelsea? Or would it be better for United if the whole Arsenal team broke their arms?

Its a toughie all right but just close your eyes and imagine the look on Wengers face if United were to overtake Arsenal. Does that makeyour dilema any easier.

Senderos will fill in for Campbell no problem(he's a much more solid player than Cygan) . I predict an Arsenal win .
