After beating Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea on the road Ole Gunnar Solskjær can further strengthen his case to be made permanent Manchester United manager by registering the result fans prioritise: a home win against Liverpool. That this would also be in a blow to Liverpool’s bid to claim a first championship in 29 years would further delight the support and be one more high-point of the former forward’s return as caretaker boss.
