Manchester United’s morale is high but they started the weekend 10 points behind Chelsea, so José Mourinho’s men need to win to have a chance of taking the title. Jürgen Klopp’s second-placed Liverpool can lose and still be in the race but a resounding defeat would be damaging for their confidence. Jamie Jackson
