When analysing Manchester United's remaining Premier League fixtures just two or three weeks ago, not many would have described this forthcoming Saturday's clash with Wolves at Old Trafford as a must-win game.
United, who defeated the Black Country outfit 1-0 at Molineux back in December, however, have lost each of their last two matches without scoring and have won just one of their last four. They have threatened to hit the buffers at the worse possible time, putting unnecessary pressure on themselves to secure a top four finish.
While they have stumbled in recent weeks, Liverpool have found form at just the right time, winning each of their last six matches. It means they will head into this weekend's round of fixtures just a point behind the Reds in fifth.
