The EPL saga kicks off early Saturday afternoon with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur battling for 3 vital points.

Both sides know that this is a must-win game following their respective results against Chelsea and Manchester City last weekend that re-opened both the title race and the battle for fourth spot.
Spurs will enter the game fully reinvigorated after last week's matches, having previously won just three of 61 league meetings with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United during the 'noughties'.
Harry Redknapp's men have now won two in a row against these sides in 2010 and will be hoping to make it three at Old Trafford on Saturday.

For their part, whilst grateful for Spurs' win over Chelsea, United will need to be at their best to recover from a shaky run of games that has seen them knocked out of Europe, lose to Chelsea and draw at Blackburn, although a last-gasp winner from Paul Scholes in the derby match last time out in the league will have boosted their confidence.

In the recent head-to-head between the two sides, Manchester United certainly seem to have the edge, winning 13 of their last 17 meetings with Spurs and drawing the other four, whilst they are unbeaten in 23 games at home to the Londoners in all competitions since 1989.

Frustratingly for Harry Redknapp's men, they have gone ahead in three of their last four games against United in the league, but lost two of these and drawn the other.

United could be boosted by the returns of Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown for the game and are likely to only be missing their three long-term absentees of Danny Welbeck, Michael Owen and Anderson.
Spurs have also been unlucky in terms of their defenders' fitness this season and Jonathan Woodgate remains out until the end of the campaign along with Carlo Cudicini.

Other players unlikely to feature include Danny Rose, Niko Kranjcar, Jermain Jenas and Aaron Lennon.

3-1 in UTDs favour

spurs to score first as usual

3-1 to United.

I wouldn't join the chorus that is predict an easy win for United.
Spurs are really an improved side.Gareth Bale was once the next big thing.Initially,we thought he settled for spurs because he couldn't cut it at United.But his displays over the past few months show he has something to offer.If he faces Gary Neville,as is most likely,we might run into trouble.
Modric is playing good:gave Lampard and co a good run last Saturday.Michael Dawson should be in contention for England in SA from his form over the season.
I won't under-rate this Spurs side,they are good enough to finish fourth.They will give us a handful,I know.

How many teams beat Utd home and away and go on to win the league?

I agree Huddlestone always slows Spurs' game down.

Modric? Impressive player.

United must raise thier game 2nd to enable them control this stubborm Tottenham.

Half time, still goalles.  Go for gold united.

Very very stupid challenge.

Shocking defending from Rafael.
Stay on the line until the ball is cleared.
