GRAEME SOUNESS: Liverpool 7-4 Manchester United... That's the split in my combined XI of the two arch-rivals battling for a place in the Champions League - despite Erik ten Hag's huge £220m spend

Perhaps I could start this week by setting a little exercise - to name the best composite Manchester United and Liverpool team from their performances this season.

Don’t let me try to influence you. Everyone will have different opinions. But I will venture to say that there are not many Manchester United players in my composite team, despite the substantial spending when Erik ten Hag came in last summer.

For me, Liverpool remain the stronger team of the two and having closed the gap from the 17-point advantage United had on them in mid-February, are in with a real chance of taking the last Champions League spot.
