Is the Liverpool factor enough to save ETH?

That is what Manchester United must be thinking after they inflicted another damaging result on their fiercest rivals in the space of three weeks.

CAN we play you every week?

First, they ended Liverpool's Quadruple hopes when they twice came from behind to win an epic FA Cup tie 4-3 in extra-time.

And yesterday, they threw a spanner in the works of Jurgen Klopp's machine to deal a blow to their hopes of winning a record-equalling 20th title in his final season.

United are the only side to stop Liverpool scoring this term with their goalless draw at Anfield, and they have held them home and away in the Premier League.

That is four points they have cost their great rivals - plus that FA Cup loss and they could prove critical in the title race.

Jarell Quansah was United's unlikely saviour and his howler four minutes into the second half transformed the game.

Up to that point, Liverpool dominated and had 15 shots in the first half to lead 1-0.

But Quansah's gaffe changed everything and his poor pass went straight to Bruno Fernandes, who scored from the edge of the centre circle.
