Manchester United's next six Premier League fixtures compared to Tottenham, Newcastle and rivals
31.12.2023 - 07:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
At least five Premier League clubs can consider themselves as Manchester United’s rivals for a European spot next season.
Just eight points separate Tottenham Hotspur in fifth - which could earn a Champions League spot - and Chelsea in tenth. United sit in the middle of that pack but the 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest dealt a major blow to any hopes of a post-Christmas resurgence.
Tottenham losing to Brighton in midweek creaked a window of opportunity when many had started to write United off but, as has often been the case in 2023-24, Ten Hag's side were humbled days later with another Premier League defeat. Beyond Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, the three clubs fighting for the title, the European spots remain up for grabs in the second half of the campaign.

Erik ten Hag’s side take on Spurs next, looking to avenge August’s 2-0 defeat in north London. United also face West Ham United and Aston Villa in their six next games, two more opportunities to put a dent in their rivals’ European hopes. Brighton have also entered the mix in recent weeks.
Newcastle United and Chelsea, despite their recent woes, also cannot be underestimated. The Magpies are expecting players back from injury and no longer compete on four fronts while Mauricio Pochettino is enjoying a slight resurgence at Stamford Bridge.
MEN Sport has looked at how United’s games over the next month compare to their Premier League counterparts.
