THE PREDICTION
These two sides were supposed to face off on May 2nd, however the match was subject to a late postponement as a result of Man Utd fans breaking into Old Trafford and invading the pitch in protest at the club’s current ownership. Since then, Liverpool have recorded a 2-0 win over Southampton and another three points here is crucial for them in their battle to finish within the Champions League places. Man Utd meanwhile, were beaten 1-2 by Leicester only two days prior to this match as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made ten changes from the side who beat Aston Villa 1-3 this past Sunday, with many key players afforded rests. However, the absence of central defender Harry Maguire due to injury could prove significant in terms of the result here with his leadership skills sure to be missed in a fixture expected to be high on emotion and intensity such is the rivalry between the two sides. For Liverpool, they have little choice but to deploy an ultra-offensive style of play in a bid to gain three points, knowing that failure to do so could mean the end of their top four hopes. This may lead to an entertaining contest that swings from one end to another and both teams to score is to be favoured, regardless of who comes out on top.
