But momentum applies to all sides though. Every side at some point has had injuries to contend with and all but City don't have the depth that Utd have either. Utd had a massive new manager bounce and they rode that for a couple of months but even then, as I mentioned already, the stattos were saying that it wasn't sustainable - you were scoring more and conceding less than you were expected to based on the chances created and conceded. That feel good factor has worn off though and performances haven't really been any better than they were under Mourinho.
The only way 4th place wouldn't qualify for the CL would be if both the CL and EL winners didn't qualify through the League. In other words, if Spurs finished 5th but won the CL then 4th would qualify. If Chelsea/Arsenal won the EL but finished 5th then 4th would qualify. But if Spurs won the CL and finished 5th and Arsenal/Chelsea won the EL and finished 6th then 4th would miss out.
