Both us and Spurs have better records than Liverpool and more interestingly
Liverpool are only a point better off than United,despite the fact Liverpool are having 'a great season' according to their fans.

Looking at Liverpool's against column you can see they have one of the poorest records after their 3 clean sheets start to the season.

Why are Liverpool favourites for the 4th spot and why are they so short 18/1 for the league when Spurs are 66/1 and both us and United are 100/1.

If the trend continues then I would be looking at United to finish above Liverpool once United get Rooney and RVP fit and firing again.
