Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will face each other in the Premier League today.

United are second in the Premier League table at the moment with 67 points from 33 matches.

The Red Devils are as many as 13 points behind leaders and city rivals Manchester City, who have played 34 games.

If United fail to win against Liverpool at Old Trafford, then City will be crowed as champions of England.

Meanwhile, Liverpool find themselves as low as sixth in the standings with 54 points from 33 games.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are as many as seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and are still in the hunt for the Champions League places.

Liverpool simply have to win today to maintain their slim chances of finishing in the top four this season.
