This coming Friday Liverpool will host their arch enemies Manchester United in the semi-final first of the end of season play-offs for the Barclays U21 Premier League title. Liverpool, who came first in the regular season, will go into the tie brimming with confidence. Liverpool, having finished 1st in the league, get to play the single legged tie at home in Anfield
Manchester United on the other hand, will also be full of confidence following their last gasp winner vs. Reading where McNair sealed the winner at the death to make it 3-2 to The Red Devils. That momentous victory saw Manchester United make 4th position in the table and quality for the play-offs ahead of Fulham.
Liverpool have no notable injuries going into the tie. Manchester United too, have no major injury wories going into the game which will give manager Warren Joyce great hope going into the massive game.
Only last season both sides met at the same point of the season in an end of season semi-final play off. Larnell Cole was the star of the day last year as he hit a hat-trick vs. The Merseysiders.
Liverpool though, will be confident history doesn’t repeat itself here. Having been the most consistent side this season, anything other than victory will come as a shock, regardless of the obvious quality of Manchester United.
Kick off is at 19.75 on Friday May 2nd
