However, the gap might be reduced on Monday if the Reds beat Leicester City.
Manchester United managed to collect three vital points to boost their chances of finishing in the top four after a 2-0 win over Wolves.
Goals from Anthony Martial and Alejandro Garnacho were enough to seal the points for Erik ten Hag’s side, which had lost the last two games.
Meanwhile, United’s first chance came in the ninth minute, but Antony was wasteful. The Brazilian was left with a chance to score when Max Kilman slipped before he could collect Michael Dawson’s pass. Antony took the ball but ended up bending his effort wide of the post from the edge of the box.
Antony again could not break the deadlock in the 29th minute after a brilliant pass from Luke Shaw. Shaw clipped a cross to the back post, where the winger was free to nod the ball from the six-yard box. The former Ajax forward put his header over the bar, wasting another big chance for the Red Devils.
Two minutes after the half-hour mark, United broke the deadlock through Martial. Kilman failed to win the ball and left a huge space that the opponents capitalized on.

Bruno Fernandes burst into the box and laid the pass to Antony, who squared it to Martial, and the Frenchman swept the ball into the empty net.
Two minutes into the second half, Antony wasted another chance for United. Martial’s low cross was slightly stopped by Dawson, and the ball rolled to the Brazilian, who took a touch and produced a weak pass that deflected wide for a corner.
At the hour mark, Kilman did well to steal the ball from Fernandes. After losing the ball, the Portuguese international complained to the referee, but Kilman's reaction was all that saved his side from conceding again.

"I see a big difference in comparison with last year," Ten Hag said. "Now many players see the project, what's going on, the dynamic and the ambition."
Dan Bentley produced a brilliant save in the 73rd minute to deny Jadon Sancho. Sancho’s shot round the post, after a nice interplay between the England international and Wout Weghorst, was tipped away by the Wolves' goalkeeper.
Harry Maguire stepped up to ensure Wolves were not coming close to getting an equalizer. The England defender slid to stop a dangerous cross from Adama Traore to Raul Jimenez. There were audible shouts for a handball, which was not given in the 85th minute.
The Red Devils scored through Garnacho in the fourth minute of added time after another break outside the Wolves’ area. Fernandes spotted the Argentine, who beat Nelson Senedo before he found the far corner via the post.
