Tottenham Hotspur have given Manchester United a huge lift by beating Arsenal and Chelsea in their last two games but Alex Fergusons side will hope that a more historical formline prevails at Old Trafford on Saturday. Thanks to Spurs 2-1 win over Chelsea and their own win over Manchester City last week,United are now one point behind Carlo Ancelottis team,who host Stoke City on Sunday. With games against Spurs,Sunderland and Stoke to come United could finish with a flourish,pouring the pressure on a Chelsea side who still have to visit Liverpool before finishing off against Wigan Athletic,who beat the Londoners at home in September. With three weekends of action remaining the race for the Premier League title remains one of the closest and most exciting for years,though Arsenal,now six points off the pace after their defeat at Wigan,look out of the running even if they beat Manchester City on Saturday. The odds of Spurs making it three wins in a row and knocking United off course,are long. They have not beaten them for nine years and have to go back to 1989 for their last success at Old Trafford. If we are not afraid we can win, said striker Roman Pavlyuchenko.
