Is Man Utd really back? Forest to test the progress
Nottm Forest vs Man Utd – Tuesday, kick -off at 8 p.m.
Three games are more than enough time for a narrative shift around man Utd, but there are deeper, real positive signs that things start to click for Ruben Amorim.
While earlier positive versions against large rivals have proven false, the hard -fought draw with Arsenal seems to have cemented something in the old Trafford Psyche at the beginning of March.
Instead of falling away, this time Man Utd saved their best representation of the season to dismantle Real Sociedad four days later. That night even Joshua Zirkzee and Casemiro, so painfully out of shape and favor at different points of the season, had a remarkable spring back in their step.
The signs are good, but nobody can imagine to nip a 10-man mid-table Laliga side and then do the same with a lifeless side of Leicester, is slightly more than a positive basis.
The improved possession patterns and more fixed floating No. 10s will be confronted on Tuesday with a star test against a Nottingham Forest side that held the joint mistress clean sheets in the Premier League.
Without the same BIG game motivation as if United is impressed by Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea Under Amorim, it will be a test of mental courage as any tactical understanding in the city area.
Emerge undamaged, and the next three upcoming matches with Newcastle, Lyon and Man City are becoming a lot more attractive – and the Amorim era is really starting to start.

For Southampton, the competition is not so much with visitors Crystal Palace, it is more with the Derby County team of the 2007/08 season that only collected 11 points. Saints are still two shy of that total and no longer touches games to pick up those points.
It would be a surprise if they manage it against the in-shape palace. Only since Christmas, Liverpool has a better point per game than the slow starters of Oliver Glasner and while the mind might be traveling to Wembley in the FA Cup, the trust will be Sky High.
The cup can be the priority, but given that Palace the week six is in eighth place with a competition in hand, they also count on the table and will certainly be their chances at St Mary's. There will be some old derby players with interest.

Can traces jump on restless rivals?
Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur – Thursday – 8 p.m.
Despite their gradual fall from grace during the past seasons, Chelsea has still been able to rely on meetings with Tottenham to offer some light in the midst of darkness.
Mauricio Pochettino did the double of his former club, including the chaotic 4-1 victory that Ange Postecoglou's government was right. Another Barmy meeting in December marked the highlight of Enzo Maresca's reign.
In that sense, this competition comes at the perfect moment for Chelsea, who has won only five of the 14 Premier League matches since that victory in North Londs almost four months ago. A pick-up is needed and their neighbors usually oblige.
Spurs' short revival of February has been undermined by a three -game Winless Run on the way to this trip to Stamford Bridge – where they have not won since Pochettino was in charge in 2018.
But there is a route to the victory for Spurs. Just like their counterparts, some Chelsea supporters become restless about both results and the style of football. If the side of Postecoglou can take an early lead – and, crucial, not throw away as they did in December – can the mood in Stamford Bridge play?
Pond-for-Pond, this is perhaps the most consistent wild and entertaining fixture in the Premier League. The calming of the inevitable storm – and increasing fear among their rival fans – will be the key to claiming a moral reinforcement of victory. Joe Shread
