Any result for the reds at Old Trafford puts them back top of the PL table and keeps at least a 5 point gap with city on the APLT. With City not playing a win for the reds would be hugely demoralising for Cityafter they saw off Chelsea so convincingly. Spurs can really show their title credentials by winning away at Burnley which puts them within 2 of City on the APLT and the real table. United now have some what of a lock on 4th and will be at least joint 4th on the APLT regardless of their result. Chelsea and Arsenal have must win home games to stop their seasons becoming europa league focused.
