Man Utd vs Tottenham FA Cup 4th round

The Red Devils take on Spurs in the 4th round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Saturday. United are facing an injury crisis with just one first choice defender, Nemanja Vidic, fit for the game. There are also injury worries in midfield but i think we will be able to cope. But it will a patched up defence that will be up against Spurs and that's where my worries lie.

The good news, though, is that Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has come out saying that Premier League survival and not the Cup is his priority and so he will be fielding a weakened side following that amazing game at Burnley where they limped through to the final of the Carling Cup where they will be defending their title against United on March 1 at Wembley.

I think the match will be a tight one with United missing a number of key players with United edging it by a goal the way they've been doing it in the league. If Spurs do put out a weak team, it'll be advantage United.

My wishlist for the night would be to see a glimpse of Fabio da Silva and Zoran Tosic in action. And of course, a United win.
