If United fail to overhaul either Chelsea or Leicester for a top-four slot in the Premier League, they could still qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.
It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished. After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.

It's a difficult place to come to try to get a result, so our crowd are a really big part of what we've done this season. I want to win the league, but I want to do it with my supporters, if we win the league and we celebrate and there's a few ball boys there, a few paramedics and some directors, we won't take any satisfaction in that.

Mancini has revived Italy's fortunes since taking over in 2018 after they had failed to qualify for the World Cup. Under his leadership, they finished their Euro 2020 qualifying group with a 100% record and are on a run of 11 successive wins. Former Atletico coach Antic dies aged 71 "If we had played the European Championship in June, we would have had a good chance but maybe we would have faced national teams who are better prepared because they started to rejuvenate the squad before us, or have an long-established team like France," he told Sky Sport Italia.
Manchester United need to build on that win at Chelsea. They still have a good chance of a top four finish despite losing eight league games this season.

Watford are struggling again and their away form is poor with only two league wins. United can be backed to get a home win here.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Braga only need a point to ensure they qualify while Pacos Ferreira will be going all out for the win this weekend.

In Laporte's absence, Fernandinho has been the mainstay of City's defence but I don't think it is an issue that they have hardly played together at the back as they go into the final part of the season. City's system and style is the same whoever is in the team, so all of their players always understand how they play anyway, however Guardiola rotates things. I actually think their chemistry at the back will be better with Fernandinho and Laporte in the same side but, in any case, the manager will have bigger calls to make with his squad in the next few months.
