European football matchday: Manchester United look to keep City waiting for title, Barcelona visit Levante

A look at what’s happening in European football on Tuesday: ENGLAND Manchester United can keep Manchester City’s Premier League title celebrations on hold for another few days by beating Leicester at Old Trafford. A defeat for second-placed United, who are 10 points behind City with four games remaining, would hand their neighbours the title. Seeking to reignite their stuttering Champions League qualification hopes, fourth-placed Leicester could benefit from United’s packed end-of-season schedule. The game comes in the middle of a period of three league games in five days for United, who have had to fit in a rearranged match against Liverpool that was postponed on 2 May because of fan protests against the club’s American owners. The game against Liverpool is scheduled for Thursday and, with United coming off a win at Aston Villa on Sunday, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to field a severely depleted lineup to guard against fatigue-related injuries. Leicester will look to take advantage as they seek a win to consolidate their place in the top four, which has come under pressure particularly from Liverpool and West Ham with two weeks of the season remaining. Southampton and Crystal Palace meet in the other game, with both teams safe from relegation. SPAIN Barcelona have another opportunity to take the Spanish league lead when they visit Levante. The Catalans were held by leaders Atlético Madrid at home on Saturday to stay two points back in third place. They can move in front of Atlético with a win in Valencia. Atlético, who have led for most of the league, host fifth-placed Real Sociedad on Wednesday. ITALY Fourth-placed Napoli host mid-table Udinese looking to strengthen their chances of returning to the Champions League. Napoli are on a 12-match unbeaten run and striker Victor Osimhen has been in form with five goals in his last four games.
