After Manchester United’s 6-2 shellacking of Roma in the Europa League semi-final, Liverpool will hardly fancy taking on a home team 13 points ahead of them with five games left to play. That amounts to a 46-point swing from last season: Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side trailed home 33 points behind Jürgen Klopp’s champions last term. That is further encouragement for United, but do not count Liverpool out in what is traditionally a fiercely-contested game. Victory at Old Trafford would boost Liverpool’s fading top-four hopes – but could also end their reign and confirm Manchester City as champions. Jamie Jackson
