Forget chasing Manchester City and their now FIFTEEN point lead, Chelsea are a mere point behind United and everyone else behind will now smell blood. With competition so fierce for the Champions League spots, United need to string together a serious run of results if they are to relieve what might just be non-stop pressure on them in the second half of the season.

Burnley meanwhile, did ever so well to bounce back from the reverse against Tottenham and remain in contention for a Europa League spot... their propensity to go to top sides and get results - victory at Stamford Bridge, draws at Anfield and Old Trafford - is the biggest difference from the way they approached the league last season and this momentum should stand them in good stead as the second half of the season starts eating at every squad in the League
