Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's showdown with Atletico Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium this evening, making some interesting calls.
Supercomputer predicts Manchester United top-four and Man City title chance outcomes
04.02.2022 - 01:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United will return from the latest international break on a high — but two top-four rivals are still tipped to hold off their challenge for Champions League qualification.
Sitting fourth in the Premier League standings for the first time since Ralf Rangnick was appointed, United conjured up a last-gasp victory over West Ham in their most-recent league fixture. Marcus Rashford settled the scores in that one with his second goal in as many games.
It was a result that was followed up by Arsenal and Tottenham dropping points 24 hours later.
However, the north London clubs still have games in hand on United — one and two respectively — and the Hammers also have to be factored in to the picture.
According to the FiveThirtyEight supercomputer, Rangnick and his side have only a 18 per cent chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
The same data has offered Tottenham a 39 per cent chance to finish in fourth, while north London rivals Arsenal are given a 34 per cent shot.
A long way behind those three, Wolves (four per cent) and Brighton (two per cent) are viewed as rank outsiders.

Another challenge, though, is set to come from surprise package West Ham. Having slipped away from contention during the dying embers last season, David Moyes and his impressive Hammers are predicted to finish seventh - but they do hold a seven per cent likelihood of Champions League qualification.
As things stand, United are tipped to finish sixth (on 61 points) — some four points behind Tottenham.
Manchester City are, meanwhile, expected to pick up their fourth Premier League title in five seasons, predicted to finish up eight points
