If Manchester United could score... Still very surprised Burnley are propping up the table after how well they did last season; the two above them, however, will be lucky to do any better than their current form.

The table at the moment seems pretty accurate, give or take a couple of places. I do hope the top five stays so competitive; as a United fan, we don't deserve to be there based on how we're playing.

6/7/8 I see as being stuck there, possibly bringing Villa into it with them. Chelsea are showing a resurgence, I doubt they'll make the EL though.

deserve? that's not how football works, we are also top of the form table in the past 5 games

second in the away table behind tottenham.

dominated the last two games (Copenhagen until the red only)

if/when our forwards start scoring shit will get better.

Important point for Chelsea for their battle for 10th place!

On a serious note, they seem better the last few matches. Maybe they can get a EL spot in the end hopefully

As a neutral, the game was great!

I was definitely surprised to see Chelsea be able to hang in there at all though. They've not looked like a team for ages. Feels like it came out of nowhere.

Heartbreaking that Spurs are struggling with all the injuries and red cards. But it's also a year to rebuild, winning the league isn't necessary to deem the year a success. At the very least, lots of exciting matches as a neutral.
