Manchester United makes the trip to Sunderland in the Premier League today, although it is effectively job done for Michael Carrick and his team this season.
The Red Devils have already wrapped up Champions League qualification following last weekend's win over Liverpool, and they look set to finish third, given they hold a six-point advantage over the Reds, while Manchester City sits seven points ahead in second.
There's nothing more than pride riding on today's game for the visitors then, but for the hosts, there is still a chance of European qualification if Regis Le Bris' side can produce a strong finish to what has been an impressive return to the top flight.
