Spurs drawn against Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur have been drawn away against Manchester United in the 4th round of the F.A. Cup.

The 4th round ties are to be played on the 24th/25th January 2009, although it is likely that the game will be played on Sunday, 25th January 2009 as both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur play their second leg, Carling Cup semi-final ties against Burnley and Derby respectively.

"Yeah, it should be a nice and easy game for us then", chuckled Harry Redknapp when asked about the draw.

"I actually look forward to it and believe that we've got a good chance of progressing through to the next round. In fact, I hope the tie is done and dusted on the day as we could do without a replay."

"Hopefully we'll have a few new faces in the squad by the time we face them", added Redknapp.

We just hope that they're not all cup-tied!

  9. Tottenham take on Burnley on Tuesday, coming from a 3-1 win over Wigan on Friday which quite impressed me. However, Darren Bent is now out injured, and Spurs have very few fit players to spare with many sitting on the bench that have not started or featured at all this season. Aaron Lennon has probably returned to full fitness, and Ledley King will probably start the match too, giving a huge boost to Spurs. Redknapp will be all out to win the Carling Cup and will be fielding his strongest team possible I believe.

    Burnley had a bright start to their Championship campaign, and impressed me with wins over Chelsea and Arsenal in this cup. Normally I would not hesitate to take them to produce an upset, but they had two quite disastrous games over Christmas against Doncaster and Barnsley, both of whom sit near the bottom of the table. They have a very acute personnel crisis, with only 17 fit players available for their lacklustre 0-0 draw with QPR in the FA Cup. The situation is improving, w…
