The Red Devils would need Arsenal to slip up at home to Bournemouth if they are to regain their top-four spot this midweek, and they may instead be more hopeful of moving further clear of sixth-placed Chelsea, who take on Tottenham Hotspur just three days after playing extra time and penalties in the EFL Cup final.For all of their recent improvement, United are still relying on those favours from others to achieve their goals this season, although their form under Solskjaer has been closer to title-winning than top-four chasing and if they are able to maintain that until the end of the campaign then it would take a big improvement from those around them to keep up.That is particularly true away from home, where United have won all seven of their matches since Solskjaer took charge, keeping clean sheets in five of those with only two goals conceded.
