1. The Potential Outcomes

As I said previously, this is a huge game for both of these teams season’s, it could potentially be make or break for their targets.

A draw for either side would be seen as two points dropped rather than a point gained, as both teams will enter the game expecting to win it. Leicester seem like they are never going to lose, so all Tottenham can do is win all of their remaining six games and hope Leicester slip up a couple of times so they can nick the title.

Whereas, United are hot on the heels of an out of sorts Manchester City team and a win could put them in with a fantastic chance of finishing above their rivals for the first time since Ferguson’s departure.

However, if either team loses it could be awful for them both, a Tottenham loss would all but kill off their chances of winning the Premier League and they will be left with the Champions League spots to fight for. If United were to lose it will surely seal their fate for the season and they will be just playing the rest of their games with no meaning until May.

It should be a fantastic game and both teams have to win to keep their seasons alive. Tottenham will likely be the worst affected if they lose, but a win for them and if Leicester drop points, it could all look very bright for them in their fight for the title.
