Manchester United sit third in the Premier League table and victory over bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday would guarantee Champions League football for next season.The visitors sit fourth in the standings and are on course for a place in Europe’s top competition themselves, and if they win in Manchester they will draw level on points with United.
United have claimed 29 points in 13 games since Michael Carrick took charge until the end of the season and they’ve been close to perfect at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have won six of their seven home games under the former midfielder and their home form has been strong all season with 36 points from 17 games, losing just three.
