    There has been a last minute change to the Manchester United team. Chris Smalling is injured in the warm up and Eric Bailly comes in to start.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool will go top of the table with a win today. A win for the away side would get them closer to the top four, but more importantly it would be a huge statement from Jose Mourinho.
  • PRVW
    Summer signings Fabinho and Naby Keita both start for Liverpool and Nathaniel Clyne gets the nod at right back as expected.
  • PRVW
    Paul Pogba starts from the bench, while Ashley Young moves up the wing and Lukaku returns to lead the line.

    Man United XI:

    And the teams are in!

    It's a game that needs no introduction, but with Liverpool having a rare period in the ascendancy over their rivals at the moment the stakes could not be higher today!
