Liverpool's January capitulation provided United genuine hope of a route to the top four. Till the match against Tottenham, Klopp's Reds seemed United's best hope of a weak link among the top clubs.

Wins against Tottenham and Arsenal and a collapse against Leicester later, it is still anybody's guess how Liverpool will fare come the end of the season. But the general sense is that the mini-revival will be enough to spark a surge into the top four.

Arsenal, meanwhile, for all their struggles against top opposition, have traditionally been flat track bullies of the league. They have picked 34 out of the available 45 points against the bottom half of the league till date, and such ruthless consistency will ensure they will keep ahead of United in the race for Champions League places.
