FA Cup 4th Round Old Trafford Sunday 27 January; KO: 14:00 BST Replay: Sun, 17 Feb; KO: 14:00 BST ...:::-----------------------------------------------------:::... Manchester United's Paul Scholes is poised to rejoin the squad to face Tottenham following knee surgery. Anderson is available after missing the victory against Reading because of a domestic matter, but Louis Saha (knee) and Gary Neville (ankle) are still out. Pascal Chimbonda is suspended for Tottenham and striker Darren Bent is still out with a knee injury. Also sidelined for the visitors are Benoit-Assou Ekotto (knee), Gareth Bale (foot) and Anthony Gardner (ankle). (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak Brown, O'Shea, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra Fletcher, Nani, Park, Scholes, Ronaldo, Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs Rooney, Saha, Tevez (from): Cerny, Robinson, Stalteri, Gunter, Lee, King, Dawson, Kaboul, Jenas, Rocha, Huddlestone, Tainio, Boateng, O'Hara, Taarabt, Defoe, Berbatov, Keane. Tottenham blasted five past Arsenal in mid-week but haven't won at Old Trafford since 1989. Sir Alex will surely be confident heading into Sunday's FA Cup fourth round tie. ...:::-----------------------------------------------------:::... Form guide: Spurs supporters are on a high after beating Arsenal for the first time in nine years in the Carling Cup semi final. In fact, Juande Ramos' team haven't lost in any competition since New Year's Day. The Reds, meanwhile, are also on top form, with Reading, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Birmingham all among the recent scalps. Ins and outs: Anderson should return to United's midfield (compassionate leave), while there's a remote chance Paul Scholes (knee) could make his first appearance since November. Spurs came through their mid-week test unscathed but are still without Darren Bent (knee) and Gareth Bale (ankle). Antony Gardner (ankle) could return to the defence. Star men: Jermaine Jenas stood out in Spurs' win over Arsenal but the spotlight on Sunday will undoubtedly be on striker Dimitar Berbatov He's the danger man, and the reason Nemanja Vidic will need to be at his best if United are to progess in the competition. ...:::-----------------------------------------------------:::...
