ANDERLECHT NEWS

After a terrible start of the season, Anderlecht is performing exquisitely at the moment. They are the leaders in Belgium League with 5 points advantage over the second-placed Club Brugge and they also performed well above the expectations in Europa League - this is their best result in Europe since their 1996/97 UEFA Cup quarterfinal. They are facing an almost impossible challenge - to eliminate the first favorite of the competition, Manchester United. They will certainly try to do that, although their chances are slim.
