LIVERPOOL 5-2 NORWICH: The Reds eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they will face either Watford or Southampton, after breezing past Norwich at Anfield He is almost certainly going to fail in this mission, but Jurgen Klopp would really rather like it if every Liverpool match from now until the end of the season – most notably the ones at Anfield – doesn’t become all about him.

Harry Maguire has received his fair share of criticism over the past couple of years after some questionable displays for Man United. The 30-year-old looked set to move on over the summer after falling out of favour under Erik ten Hag. But after deciding against a move away from Old Trafford, Maguire has proven to be an important option for the Dutchman this season, particularly with ongoing injury concerns at centre-back. Maguire was even named as the Premier League’s Player of the Month in November. Yet, many have still questioned Gareth Southgate’s decision to start him regularly for England. And it…
Manchester United struck four goals past Newport County to overcome a scare in Sunday’s victory in the FA Cup fourth round. However, a familiar problem persisted at Rodney Parade, which left Rasmus Hojlund furious with his team-mates and Mason Greenwood potentially settled on his future. It was typical of United’s struggles this season that Erik ten Hag’s side made such hard work out of a tie against League Two opposition. Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo’s early strikes fired the visitors into a 2-0 lead after 13 minutes. However, by the 47th minute, it was somehow 2-2 and finely poised. Antony…
