United make three changes from their victory over Burnley. Victor Lindelof comes into the defence in place of Eric Bailly while Fred and Scott McTominay are selected in the midfield. That means Edinson Cavani drops to the bench with Bailly and Nemanja Matic.

Liverpool make just one change to the side that lost at Southampton. Xherdan Shaqiri comes in for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. That means Joel Matip has not won his race to be fit to for this encounter and Jordan Henderson will again partner Fabinho as Klopp gambles on two midfielders in central defence.
