Top 4 ‘fail’ for Red Devils!

Cape Town - Manchester City will fare comfortably enough at Swansea to deprive arch-rivals United of sneaking a vital top-four finish in the English Premiership, believe the Sport24 experts.

We unanimously envisage City getting all three points in their Welsh visit (where they won 4-2 last season), which would ensure the Red Devils cannot overhaul them to the lucrative “Euro zone” on the final day of the season on Sunday.  

Each round of the 2015/16 Premiership campaign, a group of our staff has a crack at predicting the results – do the exercise yourself, if you like, and see how you compare afterwards.

Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial, and deeply depressed), the others are Garrin Lambley (Everton), Herman Mostert (Chelsea), and a trio of Manchester United devotees in Tashreeq Vardien, Lloyd Burnard and Maano Nekhavhambe.

Three points are awarded for an entirely correct scoreline, and one for right result.
