As patchy as United's start to this season seems to be, it is nothing compared to the woes Andre Villas Boas and his team are going through. The humiliating 6-0 defeat to Manchester City was the cherry on the top of an unpalatable cake that has seen Tottenham score only 9 goals in 12 matches, with none of those goals coming in their last 3 matches. With fans and pundits anticipating his sack in the event of a loss in this match, Villas Boas can take solace in the fact that his team has kept 7 clean sheets, the highest number by any team in the EPL so far. Villas Boas is also in the lead in head to head stats against Moyes winning 2 of their 4 meetings drawing 1 and losing just once to the Scot.
With Manchester United looking to close the gap at the top and Tottenham looking to push for a top four spot as they are only 4 points adrift of the second placed team, Liverpool – despite being 9th on the log – motivation is not lacking for both teams. The strike force of United and the quality of the Spurs squad make for an exciting match-up and with both teams going for broke, predicting an outcome seems like a dampener on a much-anticipated high impact game.
