Manchester City ace Raheem Sterling battles with Manchester United star Jesse Lingard earlier this season.
Win and they hold all the cards with just three games left, lose and they will need to win every match remaining and hope Liverpool slip up.
United meanwhile, would seemingly kiss top four goodbye if they were defeated on home soil by City.
