Final games will decide Champions League qualification claims Man Utd boss

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal expects the battle for Champions League qualification to go right down to the final weekend of the campaign. United sit fourth in the standings, just two points in front of Liverpool and four ahead of Southampton, who lead Spurs by two points - although the Londoners do have a game in hand.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's reckons that 72 points would be enough to secure a top-four finish.

"I don't think of how many points (it will take), but he is more experienced in the Premier League so I want to believe him," the Dutchman said.

"But it is going to the last week, I know that."
