They will have to achieve what no other English club has managed, and win at FC Porto next week if they're to make the last four of the Champions League, and by the time this match with Sunderland kicks off they could have been knocked off the top of the Premier League table again. - Sunderland take on the defending champions, in danger of tumbling to four successive defeats for the first time in the Premier League since March 2006. - The recent unfamiliar occurrence of back-to-back league defeats, has tended to mask the fact that Manchester United have won 12 of their last 14 top-flight outings, and have a match in hand as they bid for a hat-trick of Premier League titles, an 11th in this league and a record equalling 18th English top-flight crown. - Manchester United are unbeaten in 13 Premier League matches against Sunderland, winning the last three. - No club has gained more Premier League points against Sunderland than Manchester United's 36, and no club has scored more goals in this league against the Black Cats than United's 35. - Distance between the clubs: 149 miles (239 kilometres) CLUB FORM 1st 68 points Highest achievable after Saturday's matches: 1st Lowest could fall: 2nd 1.

Lawro's predictions Sunderland 1-2 Man Utd The teams that have attacked Manchester United in the last few weeks - Fulham, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Porto - have got a lot of joy out of them and scored lots of goals. But will Sunderland do likewise at home and potentially leave themselves open? I'm not sure. United have the quality to bounce back from a poor display against FC Porto in midweek - they have players who can come in and change games around. One thing I would say, though, is that one or two of the United players have looked more than a little jaded of late and that will worry Sir Alex Ferguson just a touch. They'll still have too much for Sunderland, though. http://tinyurl.com/c955fb http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7978858.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3005309,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7989485.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ --
