It’s crunch time for both Liverpool and Manchester United in their respective Premier League goals this season.
The ghosts of October’s 5-0 drubbing by the Reds still linger and the hosts have their confidence sky high after making through to the semi-finals of the Champions League and the final of the FA Cup last week. United still have a chance of making the top four thanks to a series of slip-ups from their nearby challengers.
Jurgen Klopp will know his team will probably need a perfect record for the final seven games of the league run-in to nick the title race. Meanwhile, any kind of result for United will provide a big boost to their Champions League qualification hopes.
