Liverpool can use Manchester United double blow to remove Arsenal's title race advantage

Liverpool are bracing themselves for one of the most important weeks in the title race.

After overcoming a near-scare against Brighton at the weekend, the quest to give Jurgen Klopp the perfect farewell remains on course. The title race is back in Liverpool's hands, but that only matters if the Reds get the job done themselves.

Sheffield United awaits on Thursday night at Anfield, in a game that almost everyone is likely to predict a Reds win. The Blades will have other ideas, of course, with Klopp and Co. knowing that they will have to be at their best to get the three points on the board.

While Liverpool are playing on Thursday, it's a game at the weekend that is seemingly catching everyone's eye the most. Sunday will see the Reds return to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, this time in the Premier League.

The last visit did not go so well, to say the least. Losing to your bitter rivals is never nice, especially when it's in an FA Cup quarter-final with the final kick of the game in extra time. The opportunity for redemption presents itself to Liverpool, though, and it's also a chance to take further control in the title race, provided things go to plan against Sheffield United.
