Newly-promoted side Norwich City FC (8-20-7, 31 points) is in danger of going back to the Football League Championship next season. They face perennial powerhouse Manchester United FC (17-9-9, 60 points) at the Carrow Road on Saturday, May 7th in a 2015-2016 Premier League matchup.

Norwich City is currently second-to-the-last in the overall standings with relegated club Aston Villa as the only team who has a worse record. The Canaries are only two points away from getting out of the relegation zone with three games left in their campaign this term.

If they can pull off a couple of wins then there is still a chance that they might stay in the English top flight competitions next season.

Manager Alex Neil's men dropped a close 0-1 game to contending team Arsenal FC at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday to extend their current losing streak to three games, as reported by Goal.

Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck scored the lone goal of the contest one minute before the hour mark of the match to claim the three points and further pressure the Yellows in trying to remain in the Premier League next season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United settled for a 1-1 draw with recently-crowned 2015-2016 Premier League champions Leicester City in their most recent match held at the Old Trafford last Sunday, as per SkySports.

French winger Anthony Martial opened the scoring early at the eighth minute of the match for Louis van Gaal's side but the Foxes were able to equalize immediately with a goal from team captain Wes Morgan at the 17th.

The two teams went scoreless from then on even as United was given a magnificent chance of scoring again after Leicester defender Danny Drinkwater was sent off in the 86th minute following a second yellow card booking after fouling Memphis Depay.

The Red Devils are now at the fifth spot of the league table, four points behind Manchester City and the final Champions League qualifying berth for next season with three games remaining in their campaign.

The predicted result is a 2-0 win for Manchester United.

Norwich City starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Ruddy; Pinto, Martin, Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, O'Neil, Howson, Brady; Hoolahan; Jerome

Manchester United starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick; Lingard, Fellaini, Rooney, Martial; Rashford
