Premier League title race LIVE: Liverpool v Manchester United

Overall record in the league at Anfield: Liverpool 41 wins, Man United 25 wins, 22 draws.

Manchester United get us underway at Anfield.

Ralf Rangnick takes charge of a team against Liverpool for the first time in his career tonight. Interestingly, he has only lost two of 13 previous encounters when he has gone head-to-head with Jurgen Klopp.

The last league meeting between the two coaches ended in a 1-1 draw when he took his Hoffenheim side to Borussia Dortmund in October 2010.

Following his match-winning brace in the FA Cup semi final, Sadio Mane needs two more goals to reach 20 in a campaign for the fourth time in his six seasons at Anfield.

Erik ten Hag is set to be appointed as the new Manchester United manager according to a string of reports, but he has plenty of work to do, according to Alexander Netherton.

Check out his blog below.

"I don't think that's part of our motivation, to be honest. I think the motivation is going to Anfield, playing against Liverpool and winning a football match and getting three points for this club and the fans."

“Nobody did the quadruple and there is a reason for it - because it is almost impossible to do.”

Virgil van Dijk

“He's one of the best, if not the best coach not only now, but the past couple of years.”

As expected, Cristiano Ronaldo is understandably not involved tonight following the death of his baby son.

He is one of four changes United make from the 3-2 win over Norwich at the weekend.

Phil Jones is a surprise inclusion while Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Nemanja Matic and Marcus Rashford also start.

Jordan Henderson is restored to Liverpool’s line-up following the FA Cup win over Manchester City at the weekend.

The Reds skipper is one of two changes from Wembley with Joel Matip joining Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence. Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita drop to the bench while Roberto Firmino misses out completely with a foot problem.
