Although not looking all that impressive, Manchester United top Europa League Group L. They lead AZ Alkmaar by two points and are three ahead of opponents Partizan who are third. United looked to have turned a corner with wins away at Partizan, Norwich City and Chelsea, then they lost to Bournemouth in the Premier League. That loss has left them ten points behind Chelsea in fourth place. If they want Champions League football next season, it looks as if they are going to have to win the Europa League. They have made a good start to their campaign with a home win over FC Astana, a draw away at AZ and a 1-0 win in Partizan. It's not the classic Manchester United style at all but at least they have seven points in the bag. They are unbeaten in their last five home games and have no losses in their last ten Europa League games played at Old Trafford. 

Partzan are third in the group and still in with a good chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages of this competition. They are a point behind AZ but with two away matches against the top two teams in the group, they have a lot of work to do. Partizan led 2-1 at home to AZ but ended up drawing 2-2 at home. That was followed with a 2-1 away win in Astana before the 1-0 home loss to United. They are fourth in their domestic league in Serbia but have lost both of their last two away games. In the Europa League, Partizan have two wins from their last five away matches. United can put home advantage to good use and get the win here.
