In the central match of the 34th round of the English championship, the players of Manchester United and Liverpool will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation?
Manchester United»
Manchester United lost their last chance to win the title on Tuesday. In principle, it was already clear that Manchester City would become the champion, but now the Red devils will definitely not catch up with their fellow countrymen. City became unattainable for the competition after the defeat of Manchester United by Leicester. This fact made Guardiola's team the national champion. Solskjaer decided to play against Leicester almost as a second team. And I probably did the right thing, considering the nuances of my calendar. Most likely, in this meeting, the basis will come out, which will try to take away three points from Klopp's team.
Liverpool»
Meanwhile, Liverpool are still hoping to get into the TOP 4. On Tuesday, Leicester could have helped the club if they had lost in Manchester, but they won. The gap from the coveted fourth place has increased. Now we need to catch up with Chelsea, who have 6 points more. The visiting team is still dependent on the results of their rivals, although, of course, a lot depends on the "Reds" themselves. Last Saturday, Liverpool won 2-0 at Anfield against Southampton.
