    United have massive injury problems across the pitch and Arsenal are in horrible for. 0-0 would be brilliant.

      The worst result is a Man Utd win.

      Arsenal are already three points behind the race so a win would maintain that and keep Utd four points behind. A draw is also good for us obviously.

        Apparently Utd lose 100m of the Addidas money if they are out of the CL 2 years running.

            Which is a great incentive to bung a ref!

            Glad we played Monday now. Less of a wait till the next round of matches. City draw v Palace would be fantastic before we take on Southampton on Sunday

              Draw would be great. Arsenal have been woeful for ages but I still have the tiny nervousness about them, they can wipe out most of that GD v Sunderland and Everton will fix on the last day if needed. Draw please and get rid of both of them!

                Palace could quite easily beat city away. They've done it to us so it's not unfeasible they can do it to City also. City have slugs in defence and Palace are a dangerous, quick team going forward, they will pose a huge threat to city. As for Arsenal, a draw would be amazing but I'd be happy with them beating the Manc ****e.

                  Said something similar earlier. Think Arsenal will finish 5th and they are more of a concern than Utd, if they pull a victory out of that game they could easily win the last 3.

                    Yep same too. I've done a few predictors for the rest of the fixtures (http://www.worldfootball.net/table_c...remier-league/) and Arsenal sometimes take it down to a final day. It's unlikely but it's still worryingly possible given their history.

                    I think 2 wins out of 3 SHOULD get us there now though.

                      I'm quite optimistic now. A win against Southampton at home and I can't see us loosing out tbh. Even if we loose at West Ham we only have to beat an already relegated Middlesbrough at home in the final game.

                      United won't win away to both Arsenal and Tottenham, and should they win the first it makes Arsenal catching us very unlikely. United with the current form could easily draw against either Palace or Southampton as well.

                      Arsenal are not really playing well and are very poor away from home. Stoke and Southampton away could easily cost them a couple of points.

                      City have an on paper easy run in with 3 home games against Palace, Leicester and West Brom, but still at least Palace next week are still in a shot for relegation and will give it all. Leicester also looks like a team that are fighting for their reputation for next season.

                      It will be a nervous run in for sure, but I think we're looking very good for 4th and I with a bit of luck we could even take 3rd.

                        It is indeed, so often the league season is over for us at this time.

                            We need to push hard for 3rd - if we end up fourth it would be our luck to get a stinker play off games vs Napoli or someone like that!

                              They will set up for draws at Arsenal and Spurs.

                              I think a draw in the Arse Utd game allied to 3 points for us at Southampton puts us in a very strong position.
