Almost there! That’ll surely be the feeling for both sets of fans here, who can’t have enjoyed this season one little bit. It has, for different reasons, become a fairly agonising slog for both – although there is just enough to keep everyone involved interested in what we have ahead …
For Manchester United there is, quite incredibly given their recent form, still hope of a top-four spot. They are three points and a fair few goals shy of fourth-place incumbents Chelsea, who face a tougher assignment against Watford at the game time as this match, and two behind fifth-placed Arsenal with the Gunners hosting Brighton later. So it is an ask but, as we know, absolutely none of the contenders seem willing to grab this one by the horns – and it might just be that whoever can churn out two wins at this point will stumble over the line. Do United deserve that? No, not really. But then nobody really does. So they need to do the business here and see whether that keeps them in with a chance.
