Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has called Sunday's trip to Tottenham "a massive game".

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that it is vital the club stay in touching distance of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

Ferguson takes his side to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, and believes that it could be a key fixture in determining the destination of the league title.

"It's going to be a massive game. If we can survive that one, then we'll have a big, big chance of winning the league," Ferguson told Sky Sports News.

"I should have more players available than I've had in the last few weeks because we've had a terrible spell of injuries. But we've done the right thing in the treatment of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, we've given them a break."

The Red Devils currently sit second in the Premier League table.
