Manchester United will surely be in high spirits following their total annihilation of the Romans in the Europa League on Thursday. And they would look to cap off a successful week with victory over their bitter rivals in the Premier League.

A contest between the two most successful clubs in England, this also represents a pivotal clash for champions Liverpool, as they are left in a dilemma of losing their crown to City, in the event of victory against United, which just happens to be imperative in their chase for a top-four finish.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Team News

Manchester United are enjoying a relatively productive season, and it must be said that they deserve all the plaudits and more. While they continue to relish their position as the 'best of the rest', there remains the little matter of sealing their top-four spot this weekend.

And the Red Devils won't be short of confidence when they head into this game, given their mid-week performance against Roma in the Europa League. An excellent second-half showing did the damage at Old Trafford, having gone behind in the first period, only to have their visitors subjected to a 6-2 drubbing by fulltime.

This victory would come off the back of a dour goalless stalemate against Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday. It's worth noting that it was a 90-minute showing bereft of clear cut chances usually attributed to both scintillating Premier League sides.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, like their counterparts, have had their own fair share of frustration against Leeds United recently. Marcus Llorente's late equalizer helped the Whites salvage a point after Sadio Mane had earlier on set Liverpool on their way to victory at Elland Road.

This stalemate was followed up by a more disappointing draw, this time at Anfield and against Newcastle United. Having grabbed the lead early on in the game through Mohammed Salah, Liverpool were made to rue a lot of missed chances to stretch their lead when Joe Willock found the net for Newcastle in the final minutes of the contest.

In their quest for Champions League football next season, the Reds have faltered a couple of times and they will be fully aware of how they cannot afford to drop points again. While they currently sit four points adrift fourth-placed Chelsea, a top-four finish can't be completely ruled out just yet.

Interestingly, the Merseyside club could lose their Premier League crown this weekend, as earlier stated, should they clinch victory against Manchester United, of course, after champions-elect Manchester City must have secured victory against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Injured or Suspended Players

Manchester United: Phil Jones and Anthony Martial.
Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
