"In any team you have one or two players out of position but in the second half Manchester United had four or five players out of position and that's why they didn't have any flow.

"They had two wingers (Valencia and Young) at full-back, two centre-forwards (Rooney and Van Persie) in deep midfield and a midfielder in Fellaini as a centre-forward. That's too many players out of their best position.

"Manchester United have given Liverpool a glimmer of hope of finishing in the top four and they need to shape up."

"If you get a result at Old Trafford your goalkeeper has to have played well. West Brom were resilient, organised, disciplined and they have kept 14 clean sheets. Only Chelsea have had more and that shows the influence Tony Pulis has had in getting them organised."

It was a mixed day for those top six teams in action on Saturday. Manchester United's hopes of getting in the top three - thus earning an automatic Champions League group stage spot - were dealt a blow by a shock loss at home to West Brom.

Liverpool took full advantage, beating QPR 2-1, while Southampton were unable to work their way into the top six after a defeat by relegation-threatened Sunderland.

There were sombre moments around the country's grounds yesterday, as former England captain Rio Ferdinand received messages of support after the death of his wife from cancer.

Rebecca Ellison, who married the QPR defender in 2009, died on Friday.

Both sets of players wore black armbands during QPR's Premier League match at Liverpool on Saturday.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard presented Rangers midfielder Joey Barton with a bouquet of flowers to give to Ferdinand.

It isn't all about the Premier League title today.

Tottenham and Manchester City are playing at White Hart Lane later as the race for the European places intensifies.

Spurs know victory would be a huge boost in their bid for a Europa League spot, while a win for City would move them closer to securing automatic qualification for the Champions League group stages.

Unsurprisingly, Newcastle's 3-0 defeat at Leicester has made a lot of the back pages as an eighth straight loss sends them into the Premier League relegation mire.

Players being accused of getting sent off deliberately, a fan revolt and just two points above safety, the Toon are in trouble. No wonder the Sunday Telegraph, external headlines it "Implosion". The Mail on Sunday opted for the headline "spineless".

Where else could we start though?

Quite the outlandish claim from Newcastle United boss John Carver.

Speaking after his side's 3-0 defeat by Leicester yesterday, he said defender Mike Williamson wanted to get a second yellow card for "the easy way out"., external

It is all pretty straightforward for Jose Mourinho's men really. Beat Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge and they are champions.

If they do that, they will win the league with three games to spare, equalling Mourinho's achievement in his first season of 2004-05.

The Portuguese has warned fans not to celebrate prematurely - but surely this is as big a foregone conclusion as Floyd Mayweather's victory over Manny Pacquiao in the early hours.
