Confirmed line-ups: Liverpool vs Manchester United (Premier League)

Manchester United are returning to Premier League action as they aim to win their first game against Liverpool at Anfield in seven years.

After Erik ten Hag won his first trophy as Manchester United manager last weekend against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final, he will be looking to increase the gap between the two sides to 13 points on the Premier League table.

Speaking ahead of the fixture, Ten Hag said: “I’ve been to Anfield, yes. I’m looking forward (to it), I know the ambience, the atmosphere will be great. It will be hostile against us, and we like it.”

“It is, of course, a test,” he added. “But we’re facing Liverpool and we’re really looking forward (to it), I know these players, my squad, my team will be prepared to go and fight, to go with confidence but we know it’s going to be difficult.

“We know we have to suffer, we have to sacrifice to get a good result.”
