Tuesday, Wednesday, and then they go into preparing for that game on Sunday at the Emirates.
It's a very different rhythm, and for me, that would be a big part of why United would finish top five and not Chelsea.
It'll be very interesting to see what Mikel Arteta decides to do at Forest on Saturday evening.
He put Saka and Trossard on the bench.
Clearly, you would think to give them a bit of a rest before the game tomorrow night at San Siro.
They came on in the second half, but that was the idea.
I wouldn't be surprised if, again,
We had a bit of a mixed team.
Not so much because they don't want to win the game tomorrow.
And I think a win, potentially even a draw, depending on the other results, could make sure that they finish top two, which is a huge advantage, as we've explained in previous shows.
If you finish first or second in this league phase, you're guaranteed to be at home in every other single knockout round now between now and the end of the season.
But they also have the last game next week because we're on to back-to-back Champions League week now against Carlton Matty at home.
which is pretty much, even if you play the B or C team, it's pretty much guaranteed for Arsenal to win and get those three points.
So even a defeat tomorrow, they will probably still top the group or finish second with that win against Karel Talmati in 10 days' time, in the last week of the Champions League.
So I expect him to mix things up.
Because he knows that it's going to be tough on Sunday.
Because United are going to play exactly like they did against City or Trafford on Saturday.
