Gary Pallister believes Manchester United have restored the foundation on which to build a title- winning run to “devastate” their rivals in the battle for the Premier League crown.

Jonny Evans’ renaissance and Chris Smalling’s emergence as a solid prospect has provided Sir Alex Ferguson with a trusty back-up to Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic at the heart of the Reds defence. And after the ‘give-away’ period of early-season when the Reds conceded a hatful of damaging late goals, Pallister thinks United could now be ready for a mean streak.

“Going back two years ago it was the 1-0 results that won United the 2009 title,” Pallister told MEN Sport. “Those are the scorelines that break the hearts of teams chasing you. It is devastating for a rival when you see another challenger scrape out 1-0 victories. I think the Reds have got the solidity and strength in depth in the back four, particularly at the heart of the defence, to dig out those kind of results.”

Can't agree more. This is something have all along known. BTW, it doesn't necessarily have to be 1-0, any scoreline with one goal margin has a similar effect.

IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

Mark Lawro on Tot vs man U game

"I know United have not lost in the Premier League all season but I think their unbeaten record will end here"
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The Tottenham manager told the Sun: “ALEX FERGUSON knows his wines - but this won't be a vintage season for Manchester United on the pitch.

“As good as they are I do not think they are good enough to go through the whole season unbeaten.

“Even if they win the Premier League title this season, Arsenal are the original Invincibles and their record is going to stay intact.

“Of course, I'd love it will be my Tottenham team that ends United's unbeaten run on Sunday and we have a chance of doing it.

“It's not as if United are Barcelona or Real Madrid who are on another planet to everyone else.

“We can bring them down to earth and for the sake of the title race I bet everyone who doesn't support Man Utd will be hoping we do.

“It will keep all us teams at the top a bit closer together.

“If they win again, they will be threatening to run away with it. But the unbeaten streak is going to end before May - whatever the result on Sunday.

“It's not as if United aren't that good, but the league is far more open this season than for a long time so as a betting man I wouldn't back them matching Arsenal's record.

He concluded: “No one's invincible this season in my opinion. Results already have shown that.

“United have done well to get past the halfway mark without losing a single match - but it's just a matter of time before they do.”

@kelele...the arguments having been going on for so long and I doubt that if you reviewed comments from @Taz that you will anything resembling your comment.

Anyways Sunday is like 48 hours away. All non-man-u fans will be hoping that the unbeaten run ends.

Sadly though it may take a wolves, blackpool, westham type of game for that to happen.

I agree with Redknapps assessment...I doubt we'll go the wholes season unbeaten...what matters most is reclaiming the title from Chelsea as far as am concerned...if we do it unbeaten, at least we can stop hearing about the Invincibles.

That said, we're in the "grinding out results" mode, and for that reason, with the right tactics like employed against the Arsenal game, I believe Man Utd will beat Spurs.

No one wants to come out and say it so I will: CHELSEA WILL NOT WIN THE EPL IN 2010/2011 SEASON.
