BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson is tipping Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace when both sides meet in the league on Wednesday.
The top four race is getting more complicated with Arsenal been drawn into the battle. Both City ams Arsenal lead United with four points and neither team can afford to drop more points.
United also enter a crucial week, with Van Gaal's men travelling to London on Saturday to face Everton in the FA Cup semifinal.
Crystal Palace in their part also will be facing Watford in the FA Cup semifinal at Wembley on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see how both teams will approach the game.
Mark however thinks United will get the better of a Palace team that drew with the Gunners in their last match at the Emirates.
He wrote in his column on be BBC:
"Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has already come out and said he will change his team around before Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Watford.
That helps Manchester United, who have their own semi-final to look forward to, but nothing is straightforward for Louis van Gaal's side at the moment.
Yes they beat Aston Villa at the weekend, but again United struggled to create good chances and they are finding it hard to kill games off.
Mark finally predicts a 2-0 United win.
What's your prediction for the game?
Few rounds are left until the end of the championship. Manchester United, 5th place in the ranking with 56 points, will meet today Crystal Palace, 16th place in the ranking with 39 points. We hope that the 2 coaches were thought well at the game strategies, so we expect to see many goals.
