If Manchester City lose at Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United's 20th championship will be confirmed with three points against 17th-placed Aston Villa. Whatever occurs at White Hart Lane, Sir Alex Ferguson has informed his players the aim is to win all of their final five matches so Paul Lambert's side can expect a difficult evening at Old Trafford. When United's teamsheet is issued all eyes will search for Wayne Rooney after he was replaced at West Ham during the week after a disappointing display in the 2-2 draw. Jamie Jackson
