Analysis:
Manchester United have shown real grit and determination in the season so far and whenever they have conceded a goal, they have found a way to fight back. However, this game may come too quickly for them which will make it all the more challenging for the Red Devils. On the other hand, the Reds have had a decent rest plus they have more at stake in this game than their rivals who are best playing for the second place. This comes keeping in mind these equations that Liverpool might have the edge heading into this match.
