History of the Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur fixture

Man Utd. prepare to entertain Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford at tea-time on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Red Devils are clearly on top, having won 49 and lost only 14 of the 78 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Old Trafford was less than a year ago, in October 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
