Manchester City will win the English league championship this season, there is no question about that. And it is precisely her bitter city rival, Manchester United, who has been helping her the most lately. The Red Devils recorded a fourth draw tonight (Wednesday) in the last five rounds with a disappointing 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace. Leicester also parted ways with Burnley 1-1, with Sheffield United beat Aston Villa 0-1.
Crystal Palace – Manchester United 0: 0
The game in London was held under wintry and not-so-simple weather, with extremely wet grass affecting the ability of the players. However, the team of Ola Gunnar Solskjaer should not be interested, given the fact that it has for some time been unable to generate positive momentum to keep the championship fight alive. The guest recorded only one threat per frame, thus the lead from City leading stands at 14 points.
Burnley – Leicester 1: 1
Like United, the Foxes also stumbled and opened up the fight for tickets to the Champions League a little more, with a second game in a row in the Premier League without a win. Matthew Vidra scored the first goal for the locals already in the fourth minute, Kalchi Ihanacho equalized in the 34th minute.
The points are shared at Turf Moor.

Sheffield United – Aston Villa 0: 1
The top of the table achieved a rather rare victory, its only fourth this season, thus interrupting a streak of four league losses. The Willans continue to show instability and are slowly losing height as well as the possibility of getting a ticket to Europe at the end of the season. David McGoldrick scored the only goal of the game (30), Phil Jagielka was sent off with a direct red card in the 57th minute.
AW FOR 10 BUT BLADES! 💪
