How Man Utd's 1-1 draw with Chelsea affects Premier League top four race

There are now just five points between third and sixth place in the Premier League after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.

After Arsenal lost 3-0 to Leicester earlier in the day, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side took the lead in Manchester when Juan Mata fired in against his former club.

But Chelsea equalised just before half-time when the off-colour David de Gea spilled a long-range effort from Antonio Rudiger straight into the path of Marcos Alonso, who clipped home the equaliser.

The point means that Chelsea retain the advantage in terms of finishing in the fourth and final Champions League place, below Tottenham in third.

Here's how the race is shaping up with two games to go.
