Before this week, this fixture was seen as a glamour tie but with Man United having injuries and Harry Redknapp saying that he will field the weakest team he possibly can (he has now changed his mind and he says he will field the strongest team he can) then it might not be the match that we were quite hoping for.

Man United will be without 10 first team players- Anderson, Nani, Ferdinand, Evra, Brown, Rooney, Rafael, Park, Hargreaves and Evans, due to injury.

There are two injury doubts for United- Neville and Giggs picked up knocks during the midweek win over Derby.

Tottenham have Heurelho Gomes, Vedran Corluka, Ledley King, Jermaine Jenas, Jamie O'Hara, Aaron Lennon and Darren Bent all injured for the game.

Michael Dawson, Jonathan Woodgate and Luka Modric are also all doubtful.


This match is a dress rehearsal for the Carling Cup final but with all of the team news then I would expect the two matches to be totally different.

I'm not quite sure what to make of tomorrows match, I don't think Man United will do the quadruple and we are in the Carling Cup final, we are currently top of the Premier League and we have the Champion's League coming up.

This isn't the most important competition that we are in but I would still like us to get through tomorrow, if we don't then atleast we are still in three competitions.
