José Mourinho might not say it but, given Manchester United’s two-point lead over third-placed Liverpool, this is a game he might be content to draw to maintain the status quo with only eight matches left after the final whistle. As Mourinho is likely to set up in classic damage-limitation mode, the test for Jürgen Klopp’s side is whether they can pick apart United without presenting any counterattacking opportunities.
