EVERY GAME A MUST-WIN FOR UNITED

*Moyes
West Bromwich Albion claimed its first league win at Old Trafford in 35 years by beating Manchester United 2-1 in September - one of a string of poor results for the champions this season.
Defeat to West Brom at The Hawthorns would surely end United’s faint hopes of finishing in the top four and qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
David Moyes’s side heads into the game that kicks off on Saturday night 12 points behind fourth-placed Man City, having played a game more.
And its last match was a 2-0 loss to Olympiakos in the Champions League, earning the team widespread criticism. Every match now is like a Cup final if United wants to salvage anything from a calamitous first season under Moyes.

RELEGATION DOGFIGHT
The Premier League’s bottom side Fulham faces 19th-placed Cardiff City in a good old relegation showdown on Sunday morning.
Defeat won’t necessarily condemn the loser to relegation, but it will make it awfully tough for them to avoid the drop with just nine games remaining.
Both sides have relatively new managers and the form of Fulham must be very worrying for Felix Magath. The Cottagers are winless in eight and have shipped a league-high 62 goals already this season.
Thankfully for them, Cardiff is the EPL’s worst scoring team, having only found the back of the net 18 times in 28 games.
