Tottenham 0-0 Manchester United:A point for United ensured they will head into 2015 in third place, with a trip to Stoke City to come on New Year's Day.

Tottenham and Manchester United shared the points at White Hart Lane on Sunday, but the home side owed a debt of gratitude to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for keeping his team in the contest at half-time.  The France international pulled off a string of fine saves to prevent the Old Trafford club from building further momentum after their Boxing Day win over Newcastle. Radamel Falcao, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie were all thwarted by Lloris in the first half before the creative outlet of Juan Mata appeared to dry up in the second.  Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino made four changes to his team, with Vlad Chiriches, Ben Davies, Ryan Mason and Andros Townsend coming in to replace Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Nabil Bentaleb and Erik Lamela. Louis van Gaal, meanwhile, named the same XI for the first time in the Premier League this season, and he added Luke Shaw to his bench after six games out with an ankle injury.
