Tottenham Hotspur's first meeting with Manchester United came in the old 1st round (today's 3rd round) of the FA Cup in January 1899 when United were known as Newton Heath. The match was drawn 1-1 at Northumberland Park, but Spurs won the replay 5-3 at Bank Street in Clayton, Manchester. A decade later the two clubs met for the first time in a Football League match with United drawing 2-2 at White Hart Lane in the First Division. The reverse fixture at Old Trafford was easilly won by United 5-0. Tottenham's first League win over United came in November 1911 2-1 at Old Trafford. Both clubs met for four seasons in the Second Division during the 1930s. Since the start of football after WW2, all League meetings have taken place in the Top Flight of the English League system. In 1952, both clubs toured North America and played two exhibition matches with Spurs winning 5-0 in Toronto, Canada and 7-1 in New York, USA. The clubs were drawn together in the 1963-64 European Cup Winners' Cup with Spurs winning 2-0 at the Lane and United winning 4-1 at Old Trafford. Old Trafford was the venue for the 1967 FA Charity Shield with League Champions United and FA Cup Winners Spurs drawing 3-3 in a game most remembered for goalkeeper Pat Jennings' long-range goal. The Charity Shield was shared. August 1979 saw the clubs meet for the first time in the Football League Cup and Glenn Hoddle's magnificent volly was the winning goal in a 2-1 Spurs victory at White Hart Lane. United went on to win the second leg at Old Trafford 3-1. In June 1983, the clubs played two matches in Swaziland, Southern Africa, resulting in a win each. Prior to this season, Spurs last win at Old Trafford came in December 1989 thanks to a Gary Lineker goal. The clubs have only ever met in one Domestic Cup Final - the 2009 Football League (Carling) Cup Final at Wembley, which ended in a 0-0 draw after extra time. United won the subsequent penalty shoot-out. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93 and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present up to the 2013-14 season - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool being the other five.The fixtures during season 2010-11 saw United win 2-0 at Old Trafford in October while the reverse match at White Hart Lane ended in a 0-0 draw. 2010-11 was the first season when both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur competed together in the UEFA Champions League. Both clubs won their respective Group Stages and progressed to the Knock-Out Phase. Spurs eventually went out to Real Madrid in the Quarter Finals while Manchester United made it to the Final, only to lose to Barcelona. The away fixture at Old Trafford last season in August resulted in a 3-0 win for United with goals from Danny Welbeck, who headed in Tom Cleverley's cross just after 60 minutes and he then produced a wonderful instinctive flick to set up a second for Anderson. Wayne Rooney scored with a pinpoint late header from Ryan Giggs's centre. The game at White Hart Lane in March 2012 was won by United 3-1. Wayne Rooney scored on the stroke of half-time to put the visitors ahead at the break. Further goals were added with a brace from Ashely Young before Jermain Defoe got one back for Spurs with three minutes remaining. Last season's fixture at Old Trafford resulted in an historic 3-2 win for Tottenham - their first in the League at Old Trafford in 23 years. Jan Vertonghen's second minute strike was deflected-in off Jonny Evans and Gareth Bale added a second goal after 32 minutes. United hit back through Luis Nani after 51 minutes but Spurs restored their two goal cushion a minute later with a Clint Dempsey goal. Shinji Kagawa scored United's second goal a minute later and Spurs survived the pressure for a United equaliser to come away with three very well earned points. Former Manchester United defender Zeki Fryers joined Spurs in January 2013 from Standard Liege in Belgium. The match at White Hart Lane in January 2013 resulted in a 1-1 draw. Robin van Persie put United ahead on 25 minutes but an injury-time goal from Clint Dempsey meant the points were shared. United went on to win the Premier League Title and Sir Alex Ferguson resigned at the end of the season.

Hmmm Spurs v a team from Manchester, what are the odds of a 6-0 to United score? Mind you I'd rather it the other way round.
Even after a good win last night, i think it will be a much closer game at the weekend. I honestly don`t think spurs did too much wrong against a lethal city side. Utd have played similar games against City where we look in control only to look silly by their excellent finishing. There is a reason why their GD is far superior to everybody else, even though they ain`t top.
Excellent as we were on Wednesday spurs won't be anywhere near as gung ho as Leverkusen so it'll be more difficult. I would expect Moyes to have learned that attack is our best approach though so be less cautious. A couple of wins in style should set us off, we need to kick on. Phil Jones finally has his slot and is excellent there, let him have a good run there. Same as Wednesday will do I reckon. I suspect he might play Fellaini somewhere though. Time for that stump to kick on too. Why the mid day kick off? What's that about then.
The way the league is shaping up a point would not be good enough. United NEED 3 points full stop. I agree that Moyes needs to be less cautious and trust his attack. Attack is the best form of defence. I think this match is so unpredictable because we don't know which Spurs and United will turn up. I am not that confident. We could easily lose or if things go our way like at Leverkusen we could get a good score. I'll be happy with a lucky 1-0 win...
I'd play the same XI that played Wednesday. Assuming Giggs can play twice a weeks and Rafael is still injured.
Welbeck is ****ing useless. Worse than useless. Barely even tell hes playing yet somehow, someway hes managed to end up centrally while kagawa goes out left?
