One of the most iconic rivalries takes centre stage as Liverpool host Manchester United.
The Reds marched into the FA Cup final with a 3-2 win over Manchester City. Liverpool’s dreams of a quadruple are still alive as Jurgen Klopp keeps pushing the right buttons. Mo Salah’s dip in goal scoring has been balanced by his partners stepping up. Ibrahim Konate is on a hot streak while Sadio Mane grabbed a brace against the defending champions.
🗣 “I think in this moment it’s really important to say as well, because it was really special and we all felt it was really special, the atmosphere our people created here was second to none.”

Moreover, the addition of Luis Diaz has provided the extra spark with Diogo Jota ever shining. Liverpool thumped five past their opponents in the reverse fixture which was the beginning of the end for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Red Devils have been in indifferent form of late. A defeat at Everton was followed by a crucial win over Norwich City. The deficit to Spurs in fourth place is just three points. Coupled with Arsenal in a rut, United know an improbable win will be a big boost.
Cristiano Ronaldo is fit and firing again but the defence continues to look iffy. Harry Maguire will have to rally the troops expertly if the backline is to remain solid.
BIG. THREE. POINTS.#MUFC | #MUNNOR

With a cloud of questions hanging over the incoming manager, Ralf Rangnick will know avoiding defeat will be crucial. Moreover, the lack of another reliant goal scorer could be key against an opponent whose defence can be caught out.
These two have always served up some of the most memorable affairs. Liverpool have held the upper hand in recent times but United can be unpredictable. Who comes out on top will be decided by how the teams approach the opening minutes.
