These two arch-rivals have been on quite different paths this season. Manchester United are still competing for the remaining three trophies after, ending its six-year trophy drought with a Carabao Cup triumph at Wembley last weekend. They also pulled off a stunning comeback in midweek to defeat West Ham while they advanced to the Europa League next round a week back defeating Barcelona.
After a dry stretch, United have now reclaimed some respect in this rivalry, and a victory at Anfield would keep their title aspirations alive should Arsenal and City falter.
Liverpool on the other hand will look to salvage their season with a top-four birth and a win against the old English rival could be a big statement in that aspect.
Liverpool have managed to move up to sixth position and cut the distance between it and the top four teams to six points after overcoming Wolves in the middle of the week. However, resisting Erik Ten Hag’s high-flying men will be another big test for the Anfield giants next who have not lost at home against Manchester United since 2016.
