The Liverpool and Manchester United rivalry is one of the most-watched matches as compared to other rivalries. Klopp's Liverpool is sitting right at the 2nd spot just after Chelsea with just a point gap.

Looking at the recent forms of both the teams Liverpool has a little bit of edge as they are the only unbeaten side in the Premier League. However, Manchester United's recent astonishing comeback in the UEFA Champions League will surely keep them in top form and will give a tough fight against their upcoming clash.

Their latest results in the league are :

Watford 0-5 Liverpool

Leicester City 4-2 Manchester United

The English Premier League, or the Premier League, has been the best football league in Europe for a long now. As per UEFA Club Coefficients, the Premier League is the best football league on the continent, with the best standard of football and competitiveness. 

The competitiveness not only makes it tough for teams to finish at the summit of the points table, but the battle for the UEFA Champions League spot also intensifies. This season, Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC, Manchester City, Chelsea FC, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League from the Premier League. 

This is the first time six teams from any league have qualified for the Champions League. Not only that, there is also a chance that another team can qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, depending on Chelsea's performance in the Conference League final this season.

Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United in the 2024-25 Europa League final at the San Memes Stadium.

Both teams have endured disastrous Premier League campaigns, currently reeling at 16th and 17th respectively, and face the threat of missing out on European football altogether, unless they win this final.

For United coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season, it’s a last shot to salvage a turbulent spell marked by 18 Premier League losses; a club record. Tottenham, meanwhile, haven’t lifted silverware since 2008, and their 21 league defeats this season mark a new low. Coach Ange Postecoglou, in his second year, sees this as a vital chance to finally deliver on Spurs’ long-unfulfilled potential.
