What are you gonna do when Anderlecht knock you our sikr?!

That's not the worst thing that could happen... could be sixth.

The fixtures around that time is also:
13th: Anderlecht away
16th: Chelsea at home
20th: Anderlecht at home
23rd: Burnley away
27th: Man city away

So some loss(es) seem likely :l

That's funny. Anderlecht have exactly the same schedule as Man Utd. in April, except week 1:

9th: Gent at home <-> Man Utd. Vs. Sunderland away that day
13th: Man Utd. at home
16th: Oostende away
20th: Man Utd. away
23rd: Club Brugge at home
27th: Charleroi at home
30th: Gent away <-> Man Utd. host Swansea that day

Northern Ireland should try qualifying for anything with Høgmo as their coach!

And that's rough for Anderlecht as well ... April really is a hard month for teams still left in cup competitions.

So I just heard that you're a Man Utd fan! That is going to be interesting next month. I've been supporting Anderlecht since I was 6 or 7. If you want some info on Anderlecht, they are offensively strong (sort of) and quite fast/sharp on the break, but defensively we are not so great, although Apoel coudnl't score against us in both legs.

In games against better teams, we tend to rely on counterfootball. That's how we eliminated Zenit in the 1/16 finals. We also have 11-13 players who risk being suspended for the 2nd leg if they get booked in the 1st leg. Man Utd should go through, but they can't afford to have a bad day in any of the legs because Anderlecht don't need many chances to score at all. We have been very efficient in front of goal this season. 67 goals scored in 30 league games and 30 goals conceded.

Sounds like the opposite of Man utd, who have been wasteful and not scoring enough goals resulting in too many draws. Least amount of losses in the league (shared with Chelsea and Tottenham and conceded 2 more goals than those two).

Jones and Smalling picked up injuries with England though ...
