Liverpool travel to rivals Manchester United in the Premier League tonight in desperate search of three points in order to keep their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League alive.
United’s defeat to Leicester on Tuesday has ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side have no room for any further slip-ups as they seek to claim an unlikely top-four spot. Victory would leave Liverpool six points adrift of Leicester with a game in hand, but with just three fixtures remaining this season.

Prediction
It’s now or never for Liverpool. There’s no question that tonight’s match means more to them with Champions League qualification on the line, with United’s second place finish looking set and Solskjaer keen to avoid any further injuries ahead of the Europa League final on 26 May. Klopp’s side could face further frustration, however. Not much has gone to plan for them this season. Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool
