With Champions League qualification all but secured for both sides, the stakes might feel lower on paper, but the rivalry with Manchester United means neither team will want to come out on the wrong side of the result.

Sutton predicts goals in Old Trafford clash

Writing for BBC Sport, Chris Sutton admitted the game is difficult to call, saying: “Apart from the future of both managers, it doesn’t feel like many people are talking much about either club here, which feels odd before such a grudge match between two old rivals.”

The former striker pointed to inconsistency on both sides, adding: “It’s impossible to predict how this one will turn out. Manchester United were lucky to edge past Brentford on Monday, while Liverpool got a good win over Crystal Palace to take a bit of heat off Arne Slot.”
