Michael Oliver set to referee #LFC's trip to Watford on Saturday night #WATLIV

Chris Kavanagh named referee for Everton's clash with Man Utd on Sunday #EFC #MUFC #EVEMUN

Riding their luck has allowed Manchester United to maintain a touching distance in this season's race for a UEFA Champions League spot.

But they won't be able to do it for the remaining 12 games of this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might need to lean on some of his old habits to see the Red Devils over the line. ... See MoreSee Less
