Manchester United is one step away from the club's new record. It's enough for the Red Devils not to lose to Swansea to extend their unbeaten run to 25 wins. By the way, when United did not lose 24 matches under Alex Ferguson, there were 9 draws from the Red Devils - not much different from the current 11, is not it?.

Records records, but there is a Sirian and much more prosaic goal, which makes them rely solely on victory - the battle for a place in the top 4. After a draw with Man City, the fate of the qualification in the Champions League is in the hands of Manchester United: the team will win all the matches - 100% finish in the first four, beating at least Liverpool. Only now the calendar for the Red Devils is not the easiest and the game with Swansea - from the level of must win.

Another thing is that United is too bloodless: Smalling, Jones, Mata, Rojo, Ibrahimovic, Fosu-Mensa, Fellaini, Pogba - all these guys will not play against Swansea. In addition, Mourinho will have to think about how to give some players a break on the eve of the most important semifinals of the Europa League with Celta - it is quite possible that for this reason the very traumatic Heinrich Mkhitaryan will not play from the very first minutes.

Swansea will also have to play to win. Swans are struggling to escape from relegation, but still lag behind Halla by 2 points. In the last round, Paul Clement's guys even won, but that did not help, because they won their match and the Tigers. If suddenly Swansea lose to Manchester United, and Hull defeats Southampton, then the distance between them will increase to 5 points - try to get out here for 3 games to the finish!.

The trainers say:.

Jose Mourinho, MJ: "The truth is that we are fighting for the League of Europe and for a place in the top 4. Well, let's do it! ".

Paul Clement, Swansea: "The players in the match with Stoke showed that they can act well even under very strong pressure".

Everton on paper is seen as the main obstacle to Chelsea on the way to the championship. Blue in the last round confidently beat Southampton, not allowing Tottenham to dream of exacerbating the championship race. In excellent shape is the ex-Chelsea player Romelu Lukaku, who in the summer can return to the London club. The Belgian performs particularly well in front of his rostrums, but has the ability to get lost in matches with top teams. It is interesting that this time will prevail in Romel - the desire to prove to the former club how wrong it was, or the underlying fear of harming the future (possibly) team?.

Toffees only lost twice in the last 17 games of the championship and incredibly well at home. Surely they keep a tooth on Chelsea for a 0: 5 defeat in the first round and try their best to spite the Pensioners that they did not look well with them. Goalkeepers Chelsea now do not envy - the team has 11 consecutive matches can not keep their gates on the castle. This, of course, is not a notorious record in the Champions League, but still unpleasant. And with each game for sure the irritation from this fact only increases.

The trainers say:.

Ronald Cooman: "Chelsea is a great way to test how much better we've become. We had only one match, lost without options this season - just against Chelsea ".

Antonio Conte: "The schedule for Chelsea is not easier than that of Tottenham. Each game for many reasons is complicated ".

Interesting Facts:.

- Everton won 5 of the last 7 Premier League matches against Chelsea (H2).

- Only at the gate Tottenham (92) Chelsea scored more goals in the Premier League than Everton (80).

- Diego Costa scored 4 goals and made 2 assistants in 4 Premier League matches against Toffee.

- Cesca scored 4 goals and 4 assists in his last 7 games with Everton.

- Romel Lukaku has not scored in the previous 5 matches against Chelsea.

Approximate compositions:.

Referee: Kevin Friend.

In the middle of the week, Borough managed to get the long-awaited victory over Sunderland and keep the hope of salvation. But this ray of hope can very soon be extinguished, because Rechnikov will have to win back 6 points behind Hull City (well, that the Tigers have even worse goal difference).

To survive, Middlesbrough must perform a feat, right? And what word do you use when you learn that the team still play against Chelsea and Liverpool (and plus the current meeting with Man City)?.

Manchester City won only 2 of the last 7 bouts in the Premier League, but thanks to the squandering of competitors still goes to the top 4. The townspeople practically do not experience staffing problems - in the infirmary only long ago departed Ilkay Gundogan, yes Claudio Bravo, but this is not critical. Finally returned to the ring Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian could well replace Sergio Aguero, whose "face remained beautiful, as always" after a small blow from Maruna Fellaini, for which the Belgian received a red card.

The trainers say:.

Steve Agnew, Middlesbrough: "I adore Pep Guardiola for many years. He has very talented teams who can score goals to give joy ".

Josep Guardiola (Manchester City) has not yet commented on the match.

Interesting Facts:.

- Middlesbrough lost to Man City only 1 of the last 10 Premier League matches.

At the same time, the Rechners won 7 wins, including 8: 1 in May 2008.

- Sergio Aguero scored Middlesbrough in both the championship and the FA Cup in the current campaign.

- Man City has already won more away matches of Premier League (11) than for the entire previous championship.
