Storylines
Manchester United: Don't look now, but United is six points back of a Champions League spot. With the news that Harry Kane of Tottenham will be out till March, United has a real chance to get back into the UCL race. Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs have all showed inconsistency as of late, so don't discount United just yet.
Brighton: This team could have put away any relegation concerns but in its last seven leagues games, it has just one win, two draws and four losses. In the coming weeks the club will face many relegation contenders like Fulham and Burnley, so it's all about building a cushion at this point.
