Squad sheets: Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham, having already killed Arsenal's title challenge and then slashed Chelsea's lead at the top by beating them last weekend, could further confuse matters at the top of the table if they manage a first victory at Old Trafford in over 20 years. Harry Redknapp's side are aiming for fourth place and a defeat could leave them facing a winner-takes-all encounter with Manchester City next Saturday. Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown should return for Manchester United, while Aaron Lennon may be in the Spurs squad for the first time this year.
