Tottenham Hotspur continue with their quest to topple Leicester City from their perch tomorrow but they will have to break their jinx against Manchester United who avoided defeat at White Hart Lane these past ten years of Premier League football.

The balance reads six draws and four wins for United. Yet, this season Spurs are fighting for the championship crown while the Old Trafford Reds are in a tight race for a top-four finish.

Last weekend, Tottenham dropped two points at Liverpool and Leicester are now seven clear after their home win over Southampton on Sunday.

However, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said his team are still in the title race and has called on his players to keep believing.

Striker Harry Kane has claimed his irresistible form has been inspired by those who questioned whether he was a one-hit wonder last season.

Kane is favourite to top the Golden Boot race in the English league this season but looks likely to lose out in pursuit of the title as Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes continue with their extraordinary march at the top of the table.

Louis van Gaal, the United manager, told reporters his team can still make it to third place at the end of the season.

The ability to win the games that matter most will propel United into a higher placing, the Dutchman told reporters after United beat Everton 1-0 last week.

Last ten Spurs-United league clashes in North London:

2014: Tottenham-United - 0-0
2013: Tottenham-United - 2-2
2013: Tottenham-United - 1-1
2012: Tottenham-United - 1-3
2011: Tottenham-United - 0-0
2009: Tottenham-United - 1-3
2008: Tottenham-United - 0-0
2008: Tottenham-United - 1-1
2007: Tottenham-United - 0-4
2006: Tottenham-United - 1-2

Leicester travel to the north east tomorrow to play guests to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The Foxes are showing they can handle the pressure of leading the standings at this crucial phase of the campaign, Ranieri said.

Against Southampton, Wes Morgan’s first goal of the season propelled Leicester closer to an incredible league success with only six matches remaining.

This afternoon, West Ham entertain Arsenal at Upton Park.

Last week, Arsenal beat Watford 4-0 at home to consolidate third place as the Hammers were involved in a third consecutive draw in league and cup matches.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger knows a thing or two about late title surges. In 1998, his team won 10 games in succession to pip Manchester United to the crown even though this year the task looks more difficult as the Gunners, who have a match in hand, are trailing Leicester by 11 points.

Slaven Bilic’s Hammers successfully appealed Cheikhou Kouyate’s red card against Crystal Palace so he will be available today.

West Ham are three points adrift of fourth place at the moment but they have not given up on their dream of mixing it with Europe’s elite next season just yet.

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City entertain West Brom who held on for a draw at Sunderland last week to continue moving away from the drop zone.

City scored more goals (four) in their victory against Bournemouth than in their previous four away league games combined – such was the impact of returning star Kevin De Bruyne.

Pellegrini has challenged Manchester City to finish the season the way they started it by embarking on a winning streak.

In the Champions League on Wednesday, the Citizens held PSG 2-2 away in France to maintain their chances in Europe.

Elsewhere, Chelsea, in 10th place and ten points adrift of fourth-placed Man. City, play Swansea City away as Liverpool, in ninth place, take on Stoke City.

Watford, who appear to have lost that early-season sparkle, duel with Everton at Vicarage Road.
