Neither Manchester United nor Tottenham Hotspur will win the Premier League title this season. However, there's still a lot on the line for the remainder of the campaign.
The clubs will meet at Old Trafford on Saturday with Champions League qualification in mind. They started the weekend in fifth and seventh, respectively, and only have ten games to make up the difference on fourth-place Arsenal. The Gunners are currently in the final Champions League spot, and they hold three games in hand on United and have played one match less than Spurs.
With such already slim margins getting slimmer by the week, both sides know how important it is to not only gain ground on Arsenal but also to trip up any other rivals in the race for the coveted fourth-place finish. Saturday's contest provides an opportunity to do both.
"We are fully aware about the importance of tomorrow's game," United manager Ralf Rangnick said on Friday . "We have to win that game. We are fully aware of that. We had a good week of training. The players are also fully aware about the importance of the game. The focus is there. The togetherness was there in the training sessions."
To that end, the Red Devils should have talisman Cristiano Ronaldo back from injury. It's all hands on deck for the final stretch of the season, and Ronaldo's presence will be a big boost against Tottenham and beyond.
"For me, it's important that he's fit again, and he resumed training yesterday," Rangnick said. "Then we will see with which formation and which line-up we are going to play tomorrow."
