Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United: Squad sheets - The Guardian

André Villas-Boas has not had a better moment in English football than Tottenham's 3-2 win at Old Trafford in September. It was their first victory over Sir Alex Ferguson's side in 27 attempts and gives them the opportunity to record their first double over United since the 1989-90 season. Spurs, however, have to make do without Emmanuel Adebayor, whose involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations leaves them with only one senior striker in Jermain Defoe. United, in contrast, have their full quartet of forwards available now Wayne Rooney is back from his knee injury. Whether Rooney is allowed to remain on penalty-taking duty is another matter after five misses so far this season. Daniel Taylor
