It is the biggest game in England bar none. Liverpool are at Old Trafford to face Man United. The Reds go into the team as league leaders, five points clear at the top. The Red Devils languish in 14th place, just a point away from relegation. The visitors are nailed on favourites for the game and the Liverpool lineup v Man United is one poised to tear their rivals apart.

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

The best goalkeeper in the world is set to start his first game since August. The Brazilian picked up a calf injury against Norwich and has been out of the side since. He is set to pick up his first clean sheet of the season.

Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold

The Scouser in our team will be looking to terrorise his opposite number.

Centre back: Joel Matip

The ink is barely dry on the Cameroonian’s five year contract extension. Hopefully Matip will prove he was worth the long deal with a stellar performance.

Centre back: Virgil van Dijk

Probably the first name in the Liverpool lineup v Man United. Fingers crossed our number four won’t have much to do today.

Left back: Andy Robertson

Andy Robbo will have to be at his tireless best today as the Reds look for a dynamic attacking display.

Defensive midfield: Fabinho

He’s the best in the world and he’ll be out to prove it today against a fragile looking United side.

Centre midfield: Jordan Henderson

The England skipper will need to be vocal and determined today. He’s in the Liverpool lineup v United to make sure the hosts aren’t given an inch.

Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum

Another goalscoring international break for the former Newcastle man, he’ll be looking to replicate that form today.

Left wing: Divock Origi

The Belgian knows how to play in big games. He has scored crucial goals for the Reds in the last year, hopefully he will add to the list.

Right wing: Sadio Mane

Liverpool’s top scorer this season will be looking to add to his tally, he’ll be far too quick for Ashley Young and too tricky for Diogo Dalot.

Striker: Roberto Firmino

Simply too skilful for the Mancs. Roberto Firmino is in the Liverpool lineup v Man United to provide that killer ball.
