Manchester United vs Liverpool player ratings: Team news ahead of tonight's Premier League
GamesIndigo.com | Liverpool will try to keep their slender top-four hopes alive tonight when they visit Premier League rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Leicester's win at United on Tuesday means Jurgen Klopp's side must realistically win all remaining games to have a chance of a Champions League qualifier.
The Reds are nine points behind fourth-placed and have two games in hand, so could trim the gap on Brendan Rodgers' side to three points before the final two games of the season. Liverpool has a cheaper run-in with games against Burnley and Crystal Palace to end their seasons, while Leicester has been against Chelsea and Tottenham.
Leicester benefited from United making 10 changes to the starting line-up on Tuesday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team play in eight games. United is expected to return to full strength tonight for the game, which was postponed earlier this month due to fan protests outside Old Trafford.

Prediction
It's now or never for Liverpool. There is no question that tonight's game means more when Champions League qualification is at stake, with United's second-place set and Solskjaer wanting to avoid further injury ahead of the Europa League final on 26 May. But Klopp's side could be even more frustrated. Not much has gone according to plan for them this season. Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool.
What is the team news?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to make further changes to his side but cannot rely on captain Harry Maguire as the defender is likely to be sidelined for the rest of the Premier League campaign. Daniel James and Anthony Martial also remain out.
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool will be without Ozan Kabak, James Milner, and Naby Keita after missing Saturday's win over Southampton with injury concerns. Captain Jordan Henderson is unlikely to play again this season, while Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip remain long-term absentees.
Possible line-ups
Manchester United: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Williams, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Thiago; Mane, Jota, Salah
Odds
Manchester United: 9/5
Draw: 13/5
Liverpool: 11/8
