Tottenham v Man Utd
Tottenham's Ledley King has been ruled out for up to eight more
weeks so he misses out along with the ill Teemu Tainio and the
suspended Mido.
Aaron Lennon has recovered from illness and Dimitar Berbatov and
Jermaine Jenas have shrugged off injuries.
Jermain DEFOE is Tottenham's leading scorer with 14 goals - seven
in the Premiership.
Louis Saha is pushing for a return to the Manchester United
starting line-up after recovering from a knee injury.
He missed the win against Watford but will replace Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer up front alongside Wayne Rooney.
Cristiano RONALDO is United's top scorer with 14 goals. They're all
in the Premiership - making him the club's leading marksman in the
League.

Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson
"It's a tough game at the weekend, and extra time (against Arsenal
in midweek) won't have helped, but we've got to pick up our league
form. "Hopefully the cups can boost things in the league. Losing to
Arsenal is disappointing but we can take a lot of positives out of
it and transfer those to Sunday."
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson
"It's fair to say our away games are tough. We've probably got
harder away games than Chelsea. "But analysing all the away games
is pointless. We know we have a tough game on Sunday and if we get
through that one then it's one out of the way. "If we can keep up
our consistency, then we have a good chance."
