Manchester United playing host to Liverpool is one of the biggest matches in the Premier League heading to the 34th round. The Sunday game at Old Trafford is much more crucial to Liverpool, as they push for a top four finish. Going to the game, United are second with 67 points, 10 behind Manchester City in the lead while Liverpool are sixth with 54 points, four off the top four. Manchester United are coming from a 6-2 win over AS Roma in the Europa League and will be fired up for this after the comeback at Old Trafford on Thursday night. The win marked a seventh unbeaten outing for United, since their FA Cup loss to Leicester City. In the Premier League, United are unbeaten in 13 matches; in the last five, they’ve won four and drawn one. United have scored two or more goals in three of their last four matches in the league. They will be happy to have had Bruno Fernandes on the score sheet against Roma but the big wish now is to see him score consistently. In the last eight league matches, he has just one goal and it was from the penalty spot. At home, Manchester United are on a six-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League and in four of the six matches, they’ve scored three goals or more. Heading to this game, they are five points ahead of third placed Leicester City.

Liverpool are desperate for three points; they went very close in their last two matches but ended up conceding late in the matches to earn 1-1 draws with Leeds United and Newcastle United. In their last game, Joe Willock scored in stoppage time to cancel out Mo Salah’s third minute opener to see them share spoils with Newcastle. Liverpool’s only win in the last five matches came as a final minute strike by Trent Alexander Arnold against Aston Villa, which saw the Reds claim a 2-1 win. Their fortunes are different in the Premier League though; they haven’t lost any of the last five matches, winning three, but they head here with two straight draws and having conceded in each of the last three. Away from home, they haven’t lost in the last four league matches, winning three. This will be the third meeting between these two sides this season. After their 0-0 draw in mid January, they faced off again a week later and this time United came from down to beat Liverpool 3-2. Mohamed Salah has scored three goals in the last three meetings with Manchester United
