As we said before in previous articles, Manchester United's situation isn't as bad as Juventus' situation was last season. The 'Old Lady' was nearly at the bottom of the table and somehow managed to come back from behind and win the Serie A title for the fifth time in a row, obviously the Premier League can't be compared to the Italian championship because it's way more competitive, but in football anything is possible.
That's why when asked about United's bad situation this season, people like Yaya Toure prefer to not make any statements in which they determine the Red Devils have no chances of getting back in the race. The Ivorian midfielder has a clear idea of all the title contenders and United is still in his short list despite the current lack of results for Jose Mourinho's side.
Toure told reporters: "To be honest it's Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United. The league this year is unpredictable and it's going to be decided in the last two or three months this year. When you are a top player and you only play once a week - like the Chelsea players, they only play once a week - it's easier to play well, it's easier to recover well and easier to take full advantage. It's going to be a tough game on Saturday, that's for sure. They definitely have an advantage.
"It's difficult to play midweek and then the weekend after. Sometimes with the European schedule we play on a Wednesday, like this week, and then a Saturday. It's sometimes tough to be focused and in these kinds of games, you have to prepare well to compete."
