Manchester United

Manchester United are currently second in Premier League, with 30 points, 5 behind the current leader Manchester City. The team is still unbeaten away from home, winning 4 games and drawing 2, scoring a total of 11 goals and conceding just 3. In four consecutive away games, Manchester United is unable to score more than a goal. However the team won the two latest ones with 1:0 and drew the previous two 1:1. Considering that Manchester City meets Norwich at home this weekend and will most likely grab the victory, United must win this match at all cost. However the Red Devils have a quite hard game against Basel this Wednesday for Champions League and might want to save some strength for that game as well.
