This means there are chances for unwated matches between big clubs in a next phase, after playoff matches. Manchester United despite of disappointed performances in Premier League, are playing well in UEFA Europa League this season and they almost have a position in top 8, with high probability as you can see below.
I still feel amazed by the results from Manchester United at some point in the Europa competition, maybe they have got plans of winning the title and have been working towards it because they are definitely finishing top four after not loosing a single game through the group stage, their strength will really be tested further after they must have faced their equals who would have made it beyond the group stage just like they did , maybe then we could get to ascertain properly if they will be able to make it to top title contender this season. Lazio at the top of the table actually have totally be one of the shocks of the europa this season as they have not been in this position in the europa for quite a long time.
