After defeat to West Brom, Manchester United are down in sixth in the Premier League, three points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Can Louis van Gaals men close the gap to qualify for the Champions League? United have nine games remaining this season and Van Gaal told Sky Sports his team need 27 points. But how high can they finish? We take a look at their prospects… Premier League top six 2015/16 Position W D L GD Pts Leicester 17 9 3 21 60 Tottenham 15 10 4 27 55 Arsenal 15 7 7 16 52 Man City 15 5 8 21 50 West Ham 13 10 6 12 49 Man Utd 13 8 8 10 47 Back-to-back Premier League wins over Arsenal and Watford launched United back into the race for the top four but the fact remains that, after losing at West Brom, United have taken just 47 points from their first 29 games of the season. Nine consecutive wins would put them on 74 points, but if they continue at the same rate, they will finish the season on 62.That total would be nine points lower than their tally in 2014/15, when it only would have been enough for a sixth-placed finish. It might be a different story this season given the struggles of the Premier Leagues big sides, but Van Gaal will still be hoping for considerable improvement. Salomon Rondon scored WBAs winner against Manchester United Remaining fixturesSo what are Uniteds chances of bouncing back from their disappointment at the Hawthorns? On paper, their run-in looks tricky. The Red Devils still have to travel to Man City, Tottenham and West Ham, and they also face potentially difficult home clashes against Everton and leaders Leicester. Average position of remaining Premier League opponents Team Avg position of opponents Man Utd 10.1 Man City 11.4 Tottenham 11.5 Leicester 12.1 Arsenal 12.7 The average position of their remaining opponents (10.1) is higher than any of the top four, but on the plus side their fixtures throw up plenty of opportunities to close the gap on the teams above them. Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata celebrate during Uniteds win over Arsenal More ominously, however, is that United took just 13 points from a possible 27 in the reverse fixtures of their remaining games - winning three, drawing four and losing two. Repeat results would see them finish the season on just 60 points.Potential fixture worry?Another potential issue facing United is fixture congestion. Van Gaals side face Liverpool in the next round of the Europa League and host West Ham in the FA Cup quarter-finals over the next fortnight, meaning they could have as many as 11 cup games to play as well as their remaining Premier League games before the season is out. Potential remaining games (including possible FA Cup replays) Team Potential remaining games Leicester 9 Tottenham 16 Man City 16 Arsenal 20 Man Utd 20 Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City also have domestic and European commitments to consider, but Leicester have a clear run in the league having been knocked out of the FA Cup earlier this season.Injury issuesA hectic fixture list could take its toll on Uniteds depleted squad. Their injury crisis has forced Van Gaal to promote youngsters from their academy in recent weeks, and according to Physio Room they currently have nine first-team players out injured. Wayne Rooney is sidelined with a knee injury The number of absentees limits Van Gaals options when it comes to squad rotation, so hell need the likes of Wayne Rooney, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phil Jones to recover as quickly as possible.ConclusionThere are plenty of obstacles facing United in the final months of the season and their task has been made tougher by defeat at West Brom. They can barely afford any more slip-ups. United must deliver more big wins against their closest rivals to boost their chances. Where do you think Manchester United will finish?

Hes confident he can be a three-down linebacker in the NFL. It takes some serious leverage to play against tight end Antonio Gates. Being drafted by the San Diego Chargers has put the former Notre Dame star in a "perfect place" because of the support from those in the organization. Oh, and Teo and some friends "just chilled and had a good time" last month in Hollywood at a party hosted by Maxim magazine, which included Teos fake girlfriend on its list of the worlds 100 hottest women. Kept largely off limits since the draft by rookie head coach Mike McCoy, Teo was allowed to speak with reporters for the first time in more than a month as the Chargers opened minicamp Tuesday. Questions about football outnumbered the ones about the fallout from him being the target of a hoax involving a fake girlfriend. Teo said hes had no problem putting behind him the issues that dogged him since they surfaced in January. "When were out on the football field, everything else doesnt matter," he said. "Thankfully for me, Im surrounded by a bunch of teammates who have really pushed me to be better. All they care about is that No. 50 is working his butt off. Ill take care of the work ethic part and for them, they just make sure that Im going in the right direction. Personally, that hasnt been difficult at all. "We have a saying in the defensive room: Keep the main thing the main thing. Im here to play football. Im here to be the best Charger I can be and Im not going to let anything get in the way of that. Well keep the main thing the main thing." The last time Teo was allowed to speak with reporters was on May 10 during rookie minicamp. Since then the team has had several weeks of organized team activities, which are basically practices in helmets, shorts and jerseys, but no pads. Minicamp is the same thing, with no pads until training camp. Teo said the biggest difference between college and the NFL is technique. "The speed, there are guys that are faster, but for the most part, speed isnt the biggest thing," he said. "Its how everybody is technically sound. For young guys youve just got to learn. You cantt just run off blocks, you cant just run through a hole.dddddddddddd Youve got to use techniques when you do the simple things. Its those guys who are great at this game who have mastered those little things." There were questions before the draft about whether Teo could handle being a three-down linebacker, including passing situations. "Yeah, its very exciting for me," said Teo, the Heisman Trophy runner-up. "I have confidence in my ability to be a three-down linebacker. For me to go against guys out here like Antonio Gates, whos a future Hall of Famer, and compete with him every day, is only going to get me better." The rookie said going up against Gates is "very difficult. With Antonio Gates, not only does he run crisp routes, but he changes it up on you. He changes his get-offs and he changes the way he comes out of his breaks. And so for a defender youve always got to play him honest. Youve always got to keep your feet moving. Youve always got to win with leverage. ... As each day goes by Im getting better at it." Quarterback Philip Rivers said Teo is "one of the guys. He hasnt been treated differently than any of the other guys, He hasnt acted any differently than any of the other guys. Hes acted himself. Hes lived up to everything thus far that I think is expected of him, both on the field and off." Actually, Teo was the only Chargers player kept away from the media. "Coach and the organization had a plan for me," Teo said. "That plan was to prepare me the best way for the season. Were out here for football. I think thats the bottom line. The plan was for me to focus on football, focus on getting my head in the playbook and just trying to make that transition as quickly as possible. I definitely have reaped the benefits of that and am thankful that Ive had the time to just focus on the plays and focus on what goes on on the field. That has definitely helped me improve each day." Teo said the biggest thing hes learned from the veterans is to "just come in and work hard. The worst thing you can do is be somebody that they have to push. And so for me, one of the strengths has always been my work ethic." ' ' '
