Tottenham Hotspur are in a good position as they push for the top four after a comfortable victory over Aston Villa on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou's side knew the importance of gaining a positive result in the West Midlands considering fifth-placed is not guaranteed to be a Champions League qualification spot next season. However, the opening 45 minutes were cagey as both teams tried to ensure they weren't caught out at the back.
After the break, Spurs started well and grabbed the lead when James Maddison turned home a brilliant cross from Pape Matar Sarr. Heung-Min Son then provided the assist as Brennan Johnson made it 2-0 just three and a half minutes later.
John McGinn's red card midway through the second half ended the match as a contest with Spurs adding a third and fourth in stoppage time through Son and Timo Werner.Here, football.london has taken a closer at who Spurs and their Premier League rivals have to come in their next six fixtures.
Tottenham's next six Premier League fixtures fixtures
Unlike United, who take on Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals next weekend, Spurs do have Premier League action to come before the international break. They take on Fulham at Craven Cottage before the two-week lay-off from domestic action.
Marco Silva's side are firmly in mid-table and lost to fellow European outsiders Wolves on Sunday. They haven't pulled up many trees this season, going about their business under the radar. It is the sort of game to get through without much fuss and then plan ahead.
