Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to poke sticks in each other's wheel spokes when they face off in the Premier League's stand-out New Year's Day fixture. Both sides have endured trying periods this season, United losing five of their first 15 games and Tottenham sacking manager Andre Villas-Boas, b
ut both have enjoyed improved fortunes in recent weeks. United have won their last six games in all competitions, while Tottenham are unbeaten in the league under new head coach Tim Sherwood, who has introduced an adventurous 4-4-2 formation. The two teams remain eight points behind leaders Arsenal, with United ahead of Spurs on goal difference, but results over the festive period enabled them to close to within just three points of the Champions League places.
