Manchester United squandered a 2-0 lead to draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night

As the race to secure Champions League qualification for next season continues to intensify, MEN Sport has taken a close look at United's next six fixtures and compared them with those of their rivals.
Verdict: The Reds have got a number of difficult matches to come in the next few weeks, starting at home to Villa at the weekend. Unai Emery's side have been in electric form recently and will arrive at Old Trafford full of confidence. Following that game, Ten Hag's side have two difficult away matches at Brighton and West Ham. Should United manage to take seven points from those three fixtures, that would probably be a good return.
With Wolves having moved away from the drop zone, United will fancy themselves to overcome the Midlands outfit at home, and the same can be said for the away clash with Bournemouth. Although Chelsea have been in poor form in recent weeks, they are likely to give the Reds a decent game at Old Trafford.
