TEAM NEWS
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to restore his regular first-team players after making 10 changes against Leicester.
Captain Harry Maguire will again be absent because of an ankle injury and faces a race to get fit for the Europa League final on 26 May.
Liverpool's Ozan Kabak, Naby Keita, James Milner and Ben Davies all miss out again with minor injuries.
Divock Origi and Caoimhin Kelleher are back in training.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Manchester United have only lost one of their past 15 home games against Liverpool in all competitions (W10, D4), and are unbeaten in eight.
Home and away, United have won just one of the past nine league meetings (D6, L2).
Liverpool and Arsenal are the two opponents Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faced more than once in the Premier League as a manager and never beaten. He's winless in five games against each of them.
Jurgen Klopp has managed away at Manchester United without winning more times than against any other opponent in his career, having failed to win on any of his six visits to Old Trafford.
Chelsea uncharacteristically got turned over at home last night v Arsenal, giving both Liverpool and West Ham belief that they can still upset the odds in making the Top 4.
The Match
Man Utd will have their eyes and mind set for 2 weeks time now their PL season is effectively over with Man City being confirmed PL Champions by Utd's defeat on Tuesday against Leicester. They play Villareal in the Europa League Final and this is a chance for Ole to gain some 1st silverware as Utd Manager and some vindication for Utd's Board in backing Ole to this point.
Utd will be without their record CB Maguire, who has a fight on his hands to be fit for the EL Final. With this in mind it could also be on the minds of other Utd players and Ole of potentially missing out on a european final should they get an injury this close to the game.
Liverpool's mission now is to win every game left (4) and put pressure on Leicester and Chelsea for Top 4 places. Liverpool simply MUST come out the blocks FAST today and dare I say it make Utd know they're in for a tough, brutal game. Being up for those 50/50's and winning them early could psychologically win this game for Liverpool with the Utd players not wanting to miss out on the EL Final, their Top 4 status is more or less sealed.
Our frontline and midfield MUST try and out muscle Utd early and it should set them up for the vital 3 points.

Klopp has never won at OT, about time, no?

In all his time at Liverpool this is probably the least likely game to win.

Pity Milner is not fit, of all the games he'd be useful in would be this game for his cultured tackling.
Alisson
TAA Phillips Williams Robbo
Thiago Fabinho Wij
Salah Bobby Mane
I'd save Jota and have him come off the bench where he has been more effective.

Phillips and William at the back? That would be a bloodbath imo. Don't think I'll watch, not worth the pain of staying awake late

Game has to be called off and Liverpool handed 3 nil win.
Utd players got to ground 6 hours before kick off whilst Liverpool stayed at hotel.
On way to ground Utd supporters cars blocked Liverpool coach in a side road and let the tyres down.
This has got to affect Liverpool players mindset being not knowing what’s going to happen next!

Ooh you forgot to tell them that Trump votes were found on the fake busses.... along with Bitcoin share slips... and that all the players have been secretly microchipped with vaccines along the way... and that there are government chem trails above the ground.... and that they found the missing Iraq WMD in one of the footballs.... Game has to be called off and Liverpool handed 3 nil win.

Great win, we played well, was scary early on with some of the defending/shape at the back, but they grew in confidence against a tricky attack.
Now we just need to win the last 3 games, we have struggled against the lesser teams, least we have started scoring goals again!!!
