What is the team news?

Manchester United

Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard could return for Manchester United's eagerly-anticipated Premier League clash against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The duo were expected to be out until early March with injuries sustained against Paris St Germain, but both may be available for Liverpool's visit, with caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer more optimistic about Martial (groin) than Lingard (hamstring).

David De Gea is set to return in goal after Sergio Romero started Monday's FA Cup win at Chelsea. Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo are still fighting their way back from injury.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Grant, Dalot, Young, Shaw, Jones, Bailly, Smalling, Lindelof, Fred, Matic, Herrera, McTominay, Gomes, Pereira, Pogba, Mata, Chong, Lingard, Martial, Sanchez, Lukaku, Rashford.

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp will be able to bring Virgil van Dijk back into the team after sitting out the Champions League draw with Bayern Munich because of suspension. Xherdan Shaqiri returned to the bench midweek and could also feature.

Full team news will be available on Friday.

What are the current standings?

What are they saying?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:

"Nah. I don't think Jurgen Klopp will read what I say.

"I'm not going to read what he says, or the players say. That's further down the line I would think.

"But (Ferguson) would be welcome to have his talk to the players if he wanted to, the gaffer, because we know how much it meant for him to overtake Liverpool.

"I think our players know what it means for everyone at Man United."

Jurgen Klopp post-Bayern draw:

"It will be a tough one again to play at Bayern if you need a result. But if we win tonight 1-0, what would have changed really? Then a 0-0 is enough, that's pretty much all. If we draw 1-1 - that's now enough as well.

"So - not perfect, but good enough to work with."

What are the best odds?

  • Man Utd win - 2/1

  • Liverpool win - 5/4

  • Draw - 12/5

What's our prediction?

With plenty at stake for both teams, this game promises goals, twists and turns. With that in mind, we are going for Man Utd 2 Liverpool 2.
