Manchester United must win against Everton in race to finish top fourto avoid Arsenal pressure

Manchester United can save themselves a lot of stress by beating Everton on Sunday, easing the pressure they will face hosting Arsenal in three weeks' time during the penultimate weekend of the season.

The trip to Goodison Park has suddenly become an awkward fixture for United given their 1-0 loss at Chelsea and the Toffees' five-match unbeaten run in the league. Getting three points on Merseyside would be another important step toward guaranteeing a top four finish.

United must also win their following two games against West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford and Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. With nine points out of nine, United would be able to breathe easier when they host the in-form Gunners on May 17.
