Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he does not expect Manchester United to slip up in their pursuit of a top four finish this season.
United, who were thrashed 7-0 by the Merseysiders back in March, missed out on the opportunity to tighten their grip on a top four berth after losing 1-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Thursday night. Argentine international Alexis Mac Allister converted a 99th-minute penalty to seal all three points for the home side, leaving United just four points ahead of Liverpool ahead of this weekend's matches.
Liverpool reduced the gap on Erik ten Hag's side and the top four with a 1-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday evening and could shrink the gap to just a point if they beat Brentford at Anfield on Saturday, just over 24 hours ahead of United travelling to the London Stadium to face West Ham United on Sunday.
