Liverpool have already been mathematically dethroned as champions, but the coronation of Manchester City could be officially confirmed this weekend, with Liverpool themselves completing the deal. Victory for Man City away to Crystal Palace on Saturday would leave Manchester United needing to avoid defeat in this match to prevent their local rivals from being crowned champions with four games to spare. City’s success is a formality at this stage, and these two sides will instead be focused on the impact this match could have on their respective top-four hopes.
Man Utd were outstanding in the second half against Roma, they’ve got goals in the team. When you watch them play, there’s lots of areas from which they can score. Solskjaer would’ve been a bit worried at half-time from what he saw with the two away goals, but to score five times in the second half has put the semi-final to bed. He could even possibly rest players in the second leg. I wouldn’t say it was something I expected, but we’ve seen so often how they have come back from losing positions this season.
