Goalkeeper:
United are undefeated in 28 of their last 29 matches against Tottenham in all competitions and would be looking to maintain their record to close the gap on the top four which currently stands at four points. David De Gea will look forward to have yet another clean sheet at home to keep Spurs at bay and hand United their seventh straight win.
Defence:
Tottenham have played two strikers up front under Sherwood to find a route to scoring more goals, a testament of their attacking attitude and change of guard under the new head coach. This means the likes of Vidic and Evans will have to be aware of more pressure right through the middle and Smalling alongside Evra in either wing backs role need to be on their toes against the likes of Lennon and Lamela/Siggurdson on either wings.
