Eddie Howe’s side are currently eight unbeaten in the Premier League and have moved from 20th in the table and without a win to 14th and seven points clear of the bottom three with 12 games remaining.

But United have gone some way to potentially bucking that trend as they’ve now won five of their last six matches and are one of the Premier League’s in form sides since the turn of the year.
But which three sides will go down?
