The Red Devils host Fulham in a Monday night Premier League game that is fraught with complications for the hosts if they lose.
Manchester United have fought back magnificently to take the title race down to the wire, after it seemed that fierce local rivals Manchester City were running away with the crown, even as recently as January. However, five wins in their last six games in the league and the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson's men have been unbeaten in the league since the two back-to-back reverses against Blackburn and Newcastle at the end of December and beginning of January, respectively, means that Mancini's City are definitely feeling the pressure.
United will be buoyed by the return from injury and to form of Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia, who Ferguson feels could be key in the title run-in. However, the club is still without the services of midfielders Anderson and Nani, as also star centre back Nemanja Vidic.
