Manchester United have been lifted by Arsenal's loss to Crystal Palace earlier this week which puts them back with a chance of securing that all-important fourth Champions League spot. It's been a dismal season for United fans, but hope remains going into the last eight games of the season.
Arsenal's defeat on Monday ensured the gap between themselves and Ralf Rangnick 's side remained at just three points. But with the Gunners having a game in hand plus Tottenham and West Ham keeping the pressure on, United must now look to win-out - or at least win the games against teams around or below them in order to have a chance at the fourth spot.
On Thursday, the Red Devils stepped up their preparations ahead of what can only be described as a must-win for United as they face relegation strugglers Everton at Goodison Park. United come into the game off the back of a disappointing result against Leicester City when Fred popped up with yet another important goal after Kelechi Iheanacho's opener, before Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga got in a tangle late on to squander a golden opportunity to clinch all three points.
