A huge encounter at Anfield Stadium takes place at this time when the reigning champions Liverpool host the table leader Manchester United in the 19th round of the Premier League.
The champion has not won three games already and she is looking at the guest from below, being in third place with 3 points less. Any result other than tonight’s victory could put Jürgen Klopp’s team in a spin.
8 years have passed since the last time the Red Devils led the Premier League table at the end of 17 rounds, at the end of that season they won their last championship. Ola Gunnar Solskjaer’s team want to continue with a fourth consecutive victory the miraculous journey on the way to perhaps a first championship without Sir Alex Ferguson, but the road there passes through Anfield.
And if the game tonight is not enough for you, next week the two greats of English football will meet again, for a knockout game as part of the fourth round of the Cup.
