Liverpool are still in the race for a top-four EPL finish after coming from a goal down to beat West Brom 2-1.

Man United will wait until the last minute to decide on whether to include Harry Maguire in the squad for the Europa League final.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, however remains optimistic, with Maguire making good progress ahead of the final against Villareal in 10 day’s time.
