Manchester United still has a chance to reach third place in the Premier League standings if they are able to win all of their remaining matches this season, because Newcastle has six remaining matches, while Manchester United still has seven matches remaining this season. This means that Manchester United still has a chance to get third place if it is able to try to win all of the remaining matches without exception (draw or lose).
Manchester United has one match left than Newcastle United on 3rd standings awhile with two points remaining, winning last postponed match automatically United will move to 3rd standings but if fail not guarantee with Manchester United finish on 3rd placed. However Manchester United on 3rd position is not safe because Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur left 6 points with 5 matches later. Next games, against Aston Villa is the moment for Manchester United if want top fourth standing or will loss chance because Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur chance for Champion League spot standing is not close.
The postponed match is against Brighton, and seeing how difficult it was for Man United to face Brighton in the FA Cup semifinals it will also be quite doubtful for United to be able to win the match especially since this is an away game for United.
Brighton, who are also trying to be in the top 5, will definitely try to be able to win a lot of matches. The defeat they experienced against Forest was quite surprising, especially when it happened with quite a lot of goals.
The big match this week will face Tottenham vs Liverpool, even though in recent years Tottenham have never won against Liverpool but considering Liverpool's inconsistency this season will open up opportunities for Tottenham to be able to get points at this home match, but Liverpool are also struggling to win all the remaining matches, if this week gets 3 points again it will immediately raise Liverpool's ranking because Aston Villa as their competitor will also not be easy to get a win this week considering that their opponent is Man United.
