Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live commentary from Sunday's Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United. This is Nick Royle (@nickaroyle) taking you through all the action from Anfield.

And we are off an underway at Anfield, Liverpool kick off from right to left.

Out comes the teams. Liverpool in their red kit, while United are in their away strip of white shirts and black shorts. Rooney applauds the United fans to his left as he walks onto the Anfield pitch.

Another Rooney stat...he will also break another record if he scores past Simon Mignolet at Anfield – he will surpass Thierry Henry's Premier League record of 175 goals for a single club.

Jurgen Klopp: "Louis van Gaal has used a very, deep counter-attacking formation in recent matches, we have to play football, dominate and protect our offensive moves. Wayne in the half-spaces., it is not so easy, they are very good at switching the game."

The Bangalore branch of the United supporters' club is certainly out in force..

Wayne Rooney starts for United, of course, after his man-of-the-match performance at Newcastle and, if the England captain scores at Anfield, it will be the first time he has netted in four successive games for his club since March 2012.

Louis van Gaal says United need "to adapt to an open match as a team. We need to read the game to beat our opponent. The key to the game is which team keeps the ball under the pressure of the opponent."

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is telling Sky Sports his ambitions are "to become the best goalkeeper in the world, to win trophies, and to become a legend at Manchester United like Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar." The clips to accompany the piece include that remarkable point-blank save from Glenn Murray against Crystal Palace..

Our friends at Opta tell us that this is the first time United have named an unchanged starting eleven for 10 months.

Jurgen Klopp is in the building...United manager van Gaal will have fond memories of facing Klopp – his Bayern Munich side inflicted Klopp's biggest defeat as Borussia Dortmund manager in September 2009, winning 5-1 at Signal Iduna Park.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal spoke before the game about the passion of Liverpool v Manchester United matches, citing Steven Gerrard's sending-off 30 seconds after coming on in last season's match. Even Mario Balotelli *gets* this match, calling on his former team-mates to "destroy" United.....

LIVERPOOL:Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Henderson, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino...Subs: Ward, Caulker, Smith, Allen, Teixeira, Ibe, Benteke.///MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Blind, Darmian, Schneiderlin, Fellaini, Lingard, Herrera, Martial, Rooney...Subs: Romero, Borthwick-Jackson, McNair, Varela, Pereira, Mata, Memphis.

United are unchanged from the side that drew 3-3 with Newcastle at St James' Park on Tuesday, but Guillermo Varela replaces James Weir on the bench.

Liverpool have made one change from the side that drew 3-3 with high-flying Arsenal on Wednesday at Anfield, with Lucas Leiva replacing Jordon Ibe to give Jurgen Klopp's side a more defensive feel in midfield.
