It's one of the Premier League's biggest fixtures, if not THE biggest fixture. Liverpool versus Manchester United.
The Reds top the table (written on Wednesday 12th December) and have now won five successive league matches.
United got back to winning ways as they comfortably beat Fulham at Old Trafford last Saturday afternoon.
The sides last met in March when United edged Liverpool at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford scoring a brace and an Eric Bailly own-goal giving Liverpool hope in Manchester.
Team News
Liverpool defender Joel Matip is set to miss six weeks of action after sustaining a fractured collarbone in Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Napoli.
Trent Alexander-Arnold also suffered an injury in the Champions League game and is a major doubt - with Nathaniel Clyne set to make his first Premier League appearance since last May.
Manchester United are facing a bit of an injury crisis, with Marcos Rojo the latest to join a huge list.
Chris Smalling, Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Victor Lindelof are all doubts for the Red Devils.
