Bookies favour United victory.TOTTENHAM host Manchester United at tea-time tomorrow in what is undoubtedly the weekend's biggest Premier League fixture, though despite their explosive start, many pundits suspect the Londoners' weaknesses will be exposed by United. Bookies think along similar lines, with Blue Square installing United as their 11/8 favourites, whereas Tottenham can be backed at 23/10 to win at bet365; Betdaq post 12/5 about the draw. Spurs last beat Sir Alex Ferguson's men at White Hart Lane
White Hart Lane is the home of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. It is situated in Tottenham, North London. at the end of 2001, since when United have won 12 of their subsequent 16 meetings with four drawn. Punters anticipating more of the same can get 17/2 (Sportingbet) against the visitors winning 2-1 and an appealing 7/2 (Betfred) about United winning when kicking off with a one goal deficit. Those expecting plenty of goals may fancy Stan James' 10/11 for the match to yield more than two. Sunday's Second City derby could develop into a classic. Villa have beaten Birmingham in their last four league encounters while City will want to put on a good show at St Andrew's after losing 5-1 to Villa last term. Encouragingly for neutrals, the fixture has yielded only two draws in the last 17 matches in all competitions. Nonetheless, Boylesports' 9/4 for it to finish with honours even this time around catches the eye. Despite being the visitors, Villa kick off as Ladbrokes' 13/10 favourites, whereas City can be backed at 9/4 (Victor Chandler). Few punters have meandered into the realms of 5-1 scorelines this time: the most popular outcome in the correct score markets is 1-1, priced at 11/2 by Coral, though tribal allegiance has played a part in the support given to Betfred's 7/1, chalked in favour of a 1-0 Villa success and to Jaxx.com's 8/1, posted against a 1-0 home win.
