Only Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth can catch the Reds and knock us out of top five in the standings, although they will both need perfect records in their remaining four fixtures.<\/p>\n
Brighton’s next match is on Saturday, when they are at home to Newcastle United.<\/p>\n
The Cherries face Crystal Palace on Sunday at 14:00 BST, before we kick off against the Merseysiders at 15:30 BST.<\/p>\n
Of course, United travel to the Seagulls on the final day, with the south-coast club in impressive form as they look to secure a European place.<\/p>\n
Sixth position would gain entry to the Champions League if Aston Villa finish fifth and win the UEFA Europa League.<\/p>\n
Carrick’s men are in third, with Liverpool three points behind going into the big one at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Only Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth can catch the Reds and knock us out of top five…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[32464,6929,108738,3,6826,403,99,32465],"class_list":["post-610731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-first-team","tag-like","tag-michael-carrick","tag-news","tag-search","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-united-now"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
