What are the current standings?

What are they saying?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer post-Chelsea win:

"We want to get to the final," Solskjaer told reporters after the win at Stamford Bridge.

"It'll be a tough away game against Wolves, but it seems like both we and our fans love the away games. It didn't feel like an away game with that support behind the goal.

"We lost the final to Chelsea last year. My last game (as a player) was a loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup final. Last time we beat them in the cup was 20 years ago, apparently."

"We play Liverpool next week, but Chelsea, Arsenal and us will fight for that fourth position... three good teams fighting for that one position. But this was about getting through to the next round," he added.

Jurgen Klopp post-Bayern draw:

"It will be a tough one again to play at Bayern if you need a result. But if we win tonight 1-0, what would have changed really? Then a 0-0 is enough, that's pretty much all. If we draw 1-1 - that's now enough as well.

"So - not perfect, but good enough to work with."

What are the best odds?

  • Man Utd win - 2/1

  • Liverpool win - 5/4

  • Draw - 12/5

What's our prediction?

With plenty at stake for both teams, this game promises goals, twists and turns. With that in mind, we are going for Man Utd 2 Liverpool 2.
