Man United, whom i love mocking relentlessly for having two of the worst players currently in the EPL in their squad (Ashley "can't tackle, pass, cross or think" Young and Jesse "at 26 he's still treated like an up and coming player even tho he has already played 117 EPL games and scored a measily 17 goals whilst playing for one of the biggest clubs in England". But they have an equal or better squad then Chelsea and an equally mediocre manager. So to be confident of them dropping out of the 6 ahead of you guys is a bit much. Especially knowing that they can strengthen mid season and you guys cannot. They can control games already, they just can't score goals. Add in a decent Striker in January and they will come good in the new year.
As for Arsenal, we are playing terrible football but have still only lost once this season, to Liverpool, and have 3 out of 4 of our starting backline returning to fitness and our No 1 striker out injured. Our worst is still a level above your best right now.
Spuds won't miss out on the 6, but have won 19 points from the last 17 games they are probably getting close to sacking Poch. Hopefully they fully embrace their mediocrity and somehow slide down to 5th. Id be happy for Leicester to finish 4th if it pushes Spuds to the Europa League.
