Even without Höjlund, Manchester United will win this match. I mean, if they want to be in the top four, they have to win. In recent games, even if they concede goals, they score a lot of goals and win. That's why defensive mistakes are not a big problem.
I think Aston Villa will also win, so the points difference will not decrease. Nottingham Forest cannot pose a serious threat. The team that has lost 3 games in a row at Villa Park wouldn't allow the 4th one to happen. Also Watkins is in great shape.
And with the way Manchester United is coming for Fulham is looking interesting. This game looks like what is going to be interesting because Manchester United is playing so is fulham also doing a great job and it won't be easy for the United to win at ease don't be surprised that fulham will stop Manchester United from going to the top four. All the efforts Manchester United is putting in to take a lead are all failing and a lot of effort coming from Casemiro. We know that the Manchester United goalkeeper is not that good the guy is overconfident in himself and that is what is killing him. Manchester United is trying to reclaim there reputation starting from being in the top four because at some point Manchester United was not doing well at all. and at this point, both of their defense are doing very well, during the second half am sure that one of the clubs will concede a goal a not sure which of them but there will be a record of the goal.
