10. Busy summer at Old Trafford?
Reports this week have suggested Manchester United are preparing a £100m bid for Jadon Sancho - but will that come under new owners? The Glazers are said to have named their terms to sell at £1billion and a remaining 20% stake. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
11. Top vs bottom - surely an upset isn’t on the cards
Norwich City shocked current champions Manchester City earlier on in the season, so could they do the same to Liverpool when they meet at Carrow Road on Saturday evening (5:30pm)? Photo: Marc Atkins
12. Double boost for Jurgen Klopp
Klopp is likely to have James Milner and Sadio Mane at his disposal while Xherdan Shaquiri is touch and go. The bad news for Norwich heading into the game is Tottenham reportedly lining up a £50m move for duo Ben Godfrey and Max Aarons. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
