A peak at the Premier League table and fixtures run in as race for top four finish intensifies

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United drew on Thursday night after Manchester United blew a 2-0 lead.

Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford both have goals in the opening 45 minutes for Erik ten Hag's team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son helped Spurs, who were much better in the second half, tie the score.

Eddie Howe's team is trailing the Reds by a game. When the two teams face off at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, they may widen the gap between themselves and Aston Villa.

In the upcoming weeks, the Reds have a number of challenging games ahead of them, beginning this weekend at home against Villa. The team led by Unai Emery has been on fire lately and is coming to Old Trafford with a lot of confidence. After that contest, Ten Hag's team faces two challenging road games against Brighton and West Ham. If United can win all three of those games, seven points would likely be a decent result.

Man United will believe they can defeat Wolves at home now that they are out of the relegation zone. The same can be said for the road match against Bournemouth. Despite their recent struggles, Chelsea will probably give the Reds a competitive encounter at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are still in a good position to seal a spot in the UEFA Champions League next campaign.

Meanwhile, fans are blaming Erik Ten Hag for his unnecessary substitution which was amongst the reasons why his side threw away a 2-0 lead against Tottenham on Thursday night.
