With only 11 games remaining the season now enters its must crucial period with United grateful that their rivals for the title Manchester City also kick off at 2pm on Sunday so there can be no possibility that they will start their match five points behind, as has been the recent occurrence. West Bromwich Albion turned over Chelsea last Saturday which got Andrι Villas-Boas the sack, but despite Sir Alex Ferguson talking up the managerial qualities of his contemporary, Roy Hodgson, United should win this one by the odd goal at least.
