After a terrible season, Manchester United could perhaps be eliminated from European competition.
To avoid ending outside the top seven for the first time since 1990, Erik ten Hag’s team, currently ranked eighth, will need to improve on Newcastle’s performance at Brentford when they visit Brighton.
Spurs travel to Sheffield United, who have been relegated, knowing that a point will do.
Because of their significantly worse goal differential, the Hatters will require a mathematical miracle to win, even if Luton wins and Forest loses.
