AVB: Ready for the Devils

Spurs secured a memorable victory against the Red Devils earlier this season, winning at Old Trafford for the first time since 1989 in a five-goal thriller.

The Portuguese tactician believes his side are even better now than when they travelled to Manchester in the opening weeks of the campaign.

"We have got to know each other better," Villas-Boas said. "Obviously we had a new manager in place and lots of changes to the playing squad too.

"I think we've got a consistency - at that stage at the end of September we would have welcomed the most amount of matches as possible so as to get to know each other a little bit better.

"I think both teams have improved but United compete for titles, have great players in their squad and they come here fully motivated I think, so it's going to be a hard game for us.

"What we've changed from the time we played United is that we have improved our form at home. That is something United will recognise. White Hart Lane is never an easy place to come to.

"We're also on a great run of results and we will create big difficulties to United if we approach the game in the right manner."
