Here's a thought: We have three games to play until the 18th of march, before Utd go into their next game on the 19th.
If we can win tomorrow, and maybe beat West Brom at home, we could actually go above Utd and level with Arsenal albeit with more games played.
Furthermore, beating Hull at home on the 18th will give us 4 points and three games ahead.
It's a big ask, but three wins in a row and we are looking at a situation where the pressure is all on a United squad burdened with important cup matches all over their schedule.
Also, one of their following three games there would be a six-pointer aways at Old Trafford
