Meanwhile, Manchester United were eliminated from the Champions League and Europe after the group stage and are 6th in the Premier League, 17 points behind Arsenal and Liverpool. This afternoon the two most successful teams in English football face each other and for United’s ills there is no better medicine than eliminating Liverpool.
The good news for United is that Rasmus Hojlund has recovered from his injury, as have Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. All indications are that the Danish striker, who was voted the Premier’s best player in February, will play. Hojlund has scored in his last 6 games for United and has 13 goals in all competitions this season.
Jürgen Klopp continues to have many casualties, but with Mohamed Salah, who was a starter in the second leg against Sparta in the Europa League, ready to extend his numbers against his favorite rival: 12 goals he scored in 13 games against United.
