Liverpool meet Manchester United in a postponed match of the 30th round of the Premier League. Over the weekend, the Merseysiders beat Manchester City in a semi-final match of the FA Cup and will compete with Chelsea in the final. The two teams also faced off in the battle for the Carabao Cup trophy, where the Reds reached gold after beating on penalties. It was this success that started the dream of a quadruple, which the players of Jurgen Klopp will pursue until the end of the season.
Liverpool are just one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League. It seems that the battle for first place will be fought literally until the last round. Last weekend, both teams did not beat Etihad, ending in a draw 2: 2. Twice the Merseysiders caught up with the result, but managed to return a goal in the door of their great opponent.
Manchester United took a valuable three points over the weekend, which brought him back in the battle for fourth place. The Red Devils did not easily reach the 3: 2 victory against Norwich, but they showed character and desire to achieve it. Manchester United took a 2-0 lead until the middle of the first half and apparently decided that it was all over, allowed a very easy to equalize. However, Cristiano Ronaldo scored another hat-trick at Old Trafford, with a goal from a direct free kick in the final minutes, which brought joy to thousands of fans in the stands and behind the screen.
The next three games will be decisive for the season of Manchester United. Following the visit of Anfield, the Red Devils will visit Arsenal and host Chelsea. Failure in the three matches, especially against Arsenal, will cost the team participation not only in the Champions League, but perhaps in the Europa League. Manchester United threw a lot of energy against Norwich and it could cost him a lot on Tuesday. I do not rule out the possibility that even Ralph Rangnik will give a break today to most of his key players in order to save them for the more important and possibly easier matches with Arsenal and Chelsea.
Visiting Anfield seems to be a daunting task for the guests. In the fall, Liverpool defeated their biggest opponent 5-0 at Old Trafford and at the moment what is happening in the two teams is not much different. Liverpool continue to be very effective even against rivals from the Top 10. Ralph Rangnik did not solve the problems in defense and United defenders will again be under enormous pressure. Just a few weeks ago, United were beaten by Manchester City 4-1 at the Etihad and at least it will be a surprise for me if he does not suffer the same fate on Tuesday in front of the excited Anfield fans.
