Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal, Manchester United, West Ham and Man City will face each other in their penultimate games of the Premier League season in what could decide the Champions League qualification places.
The four teams are competing to finish in the final two qualification spots, with Leicester and Tottenham virtually guaranteed a place among the top four sides in the table.
Over the weekend, Arsenal slipped to fourth place with a draw with Crystal Palace, West Ham dropped points in their dramatic 2-2 draw with Leicester while both the Manchester clubs won.
AS IT STANDS...
Man City: P33 GD28 PTS60
Arsenal: P33 GD22 PTS60
Manchester United: P33 GD10 PTS56
West Ham: P33 GD12 PTS53
With five games remaining and the sides so close, it would appear that qualification going to the wire is possible, however it is perhaps more likely that things will be decided in the penultimate games. On Sunday 8 April, Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad. On Wednesday 11 April, West Ham take on Manchester United.
With at least two of the teams certain to drop points, it looks set to be crucial in determining which sides enter Europe's elite competition.
