Having been defeated in the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester United are now able to concentrate fully on getting into the top four. Leicester have already lost 0: 3 in this round. Now Manchester United and the Foxes have not only an equal number of points, but also the same goal difference. This means that if Manchester United can defeat West Ham, Leicester in the next game will need not only to beat the Mancunians, but also to do it with a score of at least more than a goal difference. That is why, Manchester United is extremely interested in shooting as many goals as possible in the upcoming match. Manchester United’s loss to Chelsea became the first one out of 20 official matches. After the break the red devils gained cruising speed in the Premier League. In the last five matches, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa (3: 0), Bournemouth (5: 2), Brighton (3: 0), defeated Crystal Palace (2: 0) and drew with Southampton (2: 2). In addition, Manchester United have a few injured. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe in the infirmary. The participation in the match of Luke Shaw is in question. Compared to the situation the Mancunians had before, we can say that the team has no serious staffing problems.
Milan also looked very weak in the first round and more than once the fate of Stefano Pioli hung in the balance, but they managed to rectify the situation. After the break Milan gained excellent shape and burst into seventh place in the table, which is most likely to become the European Cup. Moreover, it is quite possible to bypass the sixth Napoli. The Rossoneri are behind only due to additional indicators. Milan can even set the fifth line as their goal. Roma has only two points more and at the same time shows much less spectacular football and they make mistakes more often. In the last round, the Rossoneri defeated Bologna 5-1 at home, thus extending their unbeaten streak to eight games, six of which ended in victories.
