Think Utd should have enough to get 4th. Chelsea have essentially given up, sacked Sarri and put Kepa in charge so they're pretty much out of it. Arsenal are now Spurs in a red kit so fully expect them to mess up. 3rd is likely given Spurs are Spurs and they seem to have rode all of their good fortune.

Liverpool are the biggest chokers since Armagh of the late 90's. Complete bottle job yesterday. No belief to go after a depleted 2nd string Utd side. No leaders and the withdrawal of Henderson showed as much. Him and Klopp gong at it Kepa - Sarri style. They don't seem to have the balls for the fight.

Only 6 teams have had a higher points total than Liverpool at this stage of the season and each of them has gone on to win the league. Liverpool have lost 1 game in the league all season. To suggesat that they don't have any bottle is nonsense.

To compare Klopp/Henderson to Sarri/Kepa is so ridiculous it's actually funny. It was an awful game, but I don't remember Henderson refusing to leave the pitch or Klopp being held back from Henderson ranting with rage. I can only assume the cameras used to film the game for Dublin viewers are different to the ones used elsewhere in the country

The comparison was overstating it but it was very poor from Henderson in my opinion.

I wouldn't reach much into that. He's hardly the first player to be pissed off after coming off. He didn't fling his jersey away or kick the drinks over. They embraced immediately after anyway.

What Kepa did was unprecedented.

Did Messi not refuse to come off a few years back for Luis Enrique?

Gomes, Garner & Chong didn't play for the u 23's last night so would expect at least one of them to be in the squad for tomorrow. Its a shame Greenwood is injured, still think he's the one most likely to make the biggest impact immediately.

Wouldn't be surprised to see United switched to a back 3 tomorrow, Ole shown he's not afraid to change formation and with all the injuries he must be tempted. Matic is already ruled out and would imagine Lingard & Herrera won't too. Mata & Rashford have to be doubtful too.

all 3 to be in squad for sure yeah

Over the Bar

This was a tough match on paper before the injury list. Palace beat City and will score at least one.   Ole will earn his corn tonight!

GJL

Great win normally but considering the injuries that was fantastic. Only 5 points off Spurs now!

Cunny Funt

For a injury hit team that was one of United best results of the season and a much needed win with Arsenal and Chelsea also winning. Lukaku still too bulky but stepped out with two important goals. Shaw probably MOTM again.  Sanchez,Fred passengers but at least Fred has the rusty excuse for lack of game time.

Ole has secured more points for United in just 11 league games than Jose did in 17 games this season.

Apparently the best away run of wins in Utds history

First time in the history of the club they've secured 8 consecutive away wins in all competitions.

Good to see Lukaku playing well in what is hopefully an audition before he's off loaded to Palace in the summer.


Maroon Manc

Quiet as usual after another good result.

Looks like Rashford back tomorrow and Martial not far away. I haven't seen any update on Herrera, Mata or Lingard?

All 50% doubtful. Would you start Rashford or bring him on from the bench. I know if hes fit he has to play but risky?

He came off the bench on Wednesday night so must be not too bad!
