From a league perspective it is huge. Massive advantage when you can rest players in that way. Can't see them making the top four though.
I'd still be surprised if we didn't make it. On top of everything else, it's easy to forget that we have had our best midfield player out injured for a large portion of the season, and we have hardly seen Rooney and Van Persie up front together. Big loss in itself. The league has gone, but there will be a huge difference when we get those three playing regularly. We need to do a bit of business in the window ideally, but we will improve. Again though, I just hope the added competitions won't take their toll. Still confident though.
