Sky pundit Charlie Nicholas has barred his mind on the all important second leg match between the arch rivals.
Liverpool travel to Old Trafford with a two goal advantage, and United will have to score more than three goals to stand a chance of qualifying within 90 minutes.
United's recent form has been highly unconvincing but Charlie thinks United will win on the night, but still get knocked out if the competition, as Liverpool will score a vital away goal.
He wrote on his Sky Sports column:
"This tie isn't over, but Manchester United need to start quickly and score first if they are to have any chance of progressing.
"Liverpool will be happy to drop off, pack the midfield and squeeze when they're in their own half and Juan Mata is the key to unlock the defence.
Anthony Martial is looking more dangerous and he is definitely United's main dangerman now.
He's key for them to have any chance of pushing this towards extra-time, which I wouldn't be surprised to see. I expect them to win the game, but go out.
Charlie finally predicts a 2-1 United victory with Martial to score first.
What's your prediction?
