Darwin Nunez getting better and better
After initial difficulties in England, the attacker has adapted well to the style of English soccer and Klopp’s system of play and is in his best form this season. He has scored a total of 29 points in 41 games this season, making him a dangerous weapon. In the last four games, he has scored three goals and set up one, so he seems to have his sights set on this upcoming quarter-final

- In second place in the league
- Second strongest offense
- Last game a draw
Manchester United will probably go into this game with the same eleven as last matchday against Everton. Nevertheless, there are a few options that coach Ten Hag could pull. Antony is a possibility for Garnacho and Eriksen could be preferred to the young Mainoo due to his experience.
Liverpool put in a more than solid display against Manchester City and are unlikely to make many changes. If Salah doesn’t make it from the start yet, Elliott will start for him from the beginning
