By no means will this be a straightforward run forErik ten Hagsmen. Newcastle are one of the teams challenging for the top four but should United manage to see them off that would put a dent in their aspirations.
Brentford, Everton and Forest are all fixtures that United should win but the former is certainly a banana skin after what happened back in August. Chelsea are improving under Graham Potter so it is to be expected that they will be tough opponents while Spurs will be hoping to keep their own top-four hopes alive at the end of that run.

Manchester United (H) - Thursday, April 27
Another mixed bag of fixtures but you would have to say that this run is marginally more straightforward than Uniteds. Spurs will be hoping to pick up maximum points against Southampton and Everton before a tricky clash with Brighton.
Bournemouth should also be a victory but the clashes with Newcastle and the Reds will provide tough tests forAntonio Contesside and could make or break their push.
Nottingham Forest (A) - Friday, March 17

West Ham United (A) - Wednesday, April 5

Eddie Howes men will be hoping for a no-thrills victory over Forest before a big test against United to begin April. West Ham and Brentford will both present different challenges but the clash with the Bees is a tricky test considering their home form this season.
Newcastlecould be full of confidence heading into the clash with Aston Villa who will no doubt have little to play for by the time the two sides meet. A tough clash with Spurs ends their next six but many teams would be happy with this run of games.
Manchester City (A) -Saturday, April 1
Nottingham Forest (H) - Saturday, April 22
West Ham United (A) - Wednesday, April 26
Those opening three fixtures ofJurgen Kloppsnext six will strike fear into his heart. Facing both of the top two as well as Potters Chelsea is not a run that Liverpool will be relishing after defeat to Bournemouth.
Their top-four bid could be over by the time they reach the other half of their next six fixtures. But, should they still be in with a shout, Leeds, Forest and West Ham are all favourable fixtures.
