What Man Utd need vs Chelsea to beat Liverpool to Champions League spot tonight

Manchester United face Chelsea tonight at Old Trafford with a place in next season's Champions League up for grabs.

Rivals Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United have already secured their spots in next term's elite European competition and United will be looking to do the same this evening.

They welcome a Chelsea team who just want the campaign to be over after a miserable season.

United, though, could still be pipped to fourth by bitter rivals Liverpool.

So, what do they need tonight?

How the table stands before tonight's game

4th - Manchester United - P36 W21 D6 L9 GF52 GA41 GD11 - PTS 69

----

5th - Liverpool - P37 W19 D9 L9 GF71 GA43 GD28 - PTS 66

So, to secure a spot in the top four, Erik ten Hag's side only need one point against the Blues. The Reds are three points behind with one game left to play. With the Magpies having secured their top-four spot, it is a straight fight between United and Liverpool. A win or a point and it's United's spot.

However, should United lose tonight and against Fulham on Sunday, and Liverpool win at Southampton, Jurgen Klopp's men would sneak the last qualification place on goal difference.
