Manchester United's next six fixtures compared with Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham

Following Friday evening's shock FA Cup fourth-round exit at the hands of Middlesbrough, Manchester United will be looking to get back on track when they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League on Tuesday night.

United, who were beaten on penalties by the Championship side at Old Trafford, will make the short trip to Turf Moor in pursuit of a third successive league triumph, following successes over both Brentford and West Ham before the winter break.

Victory over the Hammers moved United back into the top-four for the first time since October, meaning they are now tasked with fending off pressure from behind them, opposed to doing the chasing.

United will head into their clash with Burnley one point clear of West Ham in fifth, and two ahead of both Arsenal and Tottenham in sixth and seven respectively, so there is no room for error.

With the race for Champions League football for next season threatening to go right down to the wire, United can ill-afford any slip-ups, especially, against relegation struggling sides like Burnley.

With that in mind, MEN Sport has taken a close look at United's and their closest rivals' next six Premier League fixtures.

Back in the top-four for the first time in more than three months, United now have the challenge of remaining in the driving seat for the final Champions League spot, starting against Burnley.

Tuesday's tussle with Clarets will mark the first of five Premier League outings Ralf Rangnick's side have before the end of this a vital February.

After facing Burnley, United return to Old Trafford on Saturday to face Southampton, before hosting fellow south coast club Brighton next Tuesday evening.

They then travel to Elland Road to lock horns with rivals
