The Reds are nine points behind fourth place but have two games in hand, so the gap on Brendan Rodger’s side could be narrowed to three points before the final two games of the season. Liverpool have a cheaper run-in with games against Burnley and Crystal Palace to end their season while Leicester face Chelsea and Tottenham.
Leicester benefited from United made ten changes to their starting line-up on Tuesday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side played four games in eight days. United are expected to return to full strength tonight, which was postponed earlier this month due to fan protests outside Old Trafford.
