Manchester United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon knowing that defeat for either side would put a huge dent in their hopes of Champions League football next season.

Preview

Both Tottenham and Manchester United have struggled to find fluency over the last few weeks and will not relish playing in a match of this magnitude. There are tentative signs that Mourinho's vision is finally coming together, but Everton's dramatic equaliser last weekend puts Spurs—whose 5-0 victory over Swansea City was their most emphatic win of the season—in a strong position.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has finally been given an extended run in the United first team and is looking sharp, but Spurs have been boosted ahead of this match by Toby Alderweireld's return from injury. He featured as a substitute in the 3-1 victory over CSKA Moscow at Wembley on Wednesday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now scored six goals in his last five games in all competitions while Harry Kane has netted nine in his last nine matches in all competitions. Given that Paul Pogba is steadily finding his feet and Christian Eriksen was back to his best against Swansea, this could be a high-scoring contest.

Chelsea have been an unstoppable force of late, but Tony Pulis' stubborn West Brom represent arguably their sternest challenge in a long time. Chelsea's counter-attacking system is well-suited to stealing points against expansive teams like Spurs and Man City, making the Baggies fixture a potential banana skin for the league leaders.

West Brom are seventh in the league and have collected 10 points from their last four matches. The true test of champions is winning ugly against teams like West Brom, making this match a surprisingly significant one for the Blues. Both Diego Costa and Pedro are doubts, as per Paul Suart for the Birmingham Mail, which would be a major blow for Conte.

In such a strong season at the top, Pep Guardiola will know that his team cannot afford to let their four-point gap to Chelsea widen any further. A game at the King Power Stadium is precisely what they need. Leicester have looked dreadfully soft through the middle without N'Golo Kante, and their flimsy 4-4-2 is even weaker with Danny Drinkwater still suspended.

The resurgent Yaya Toure should dominate in the centre on what could be another bad day for Claudio Ranieri, whose first team are fully rested after a reserve squad travelled to Porto in midweek. Speaking after the match, the Italian admitted that his fringe players had failed to impress him in the 5-0 defeat.

"I decided to change the team—the result is my fault," said Ranieri, as per the BBC. "My players lost a very great chance to show me their best."

With confidence low and few players outside the usual starting XI showing signs they can step up, Leicester fans will be fearful of another mauling this weekend.
