A blockbuster tie in the Premier League will unfold at the Anfield as Liverpool take on Manchester United on Sunday (March 5).
Liverpool, who have had a difficult season so far will be hoping to turn the tables against Manchester United. Liverpool have endured some defeats at the start of the season, but the Reds have found their form recently. Jurgen Klopp's men are unbeaten in the last four league games, and won their last match against Wolves. The Reds currently sit 6th in the Premier League table, six points from the top four, while they are currently 24 points adrift of the leaders Arsenal.
Manchester United have had a fantastic start to their life under manager Erik ten Hag. United have enjoyed a decent season so far as they are 3rd in the league table. The Red Devils also won a domestic silverware this season as they beat Newcastle United to win the Carabao Cup, their first major trophy in six years and the first under Ten Hag. They will be hoping to get a result at Anfield, as a win will take them within six points of second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand.
Here we take a look at the Team News and Injury updates of Liverpool and Man United ahead of the match-
Liverpool Team News and Injury Update: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been ravaged by injuries this season. Although Virgil van Dijk and Diogo Jota have recovered, the list is still long for them. Luis Diaz (Knee), Naby Keita (Knock), Thiago Alcantara (Muscle) and Joe Gomez - all will miss the home match against Manchester United due to injury. Summer loanee Arthur is also doubtful but may start from the bench.
Jurgen Klopp has tasted success with their two new signings as Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez both have played a big part in their recent upheaval. Gakpo and Nunez both scored in their win over Newcastle, while Mohamed Salah has also scored a goal in the last match. It has been a disappointing season for the Merseyside outfit, but a derby win over an in-form United side can be the exact impetus they need to finish off the season strongly.
Man United Team News and Injury Update: Ever since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, things have become rosy at Manchester United. Manager Erik ten Hag has found his best team and they are playing decent football at the moment. For the Anfield trip, Christian Eriksen (Ankle), Anthony Martial (Hip) and Donny van de Beek (Knee) are the confirmed absentees, while the involvement of an ill Jadon Sancho is under speculation.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions, since their last defeat at the Emirates against Arsenal. They have tasted Carabao Cup success, have ousted Barcelona to advance in the Europa League and have progressed in the FA Cup as well.
Despite a busy schedule on the horizon, Ten Hag will be fielding his best eleven against Liverpool. A red-hot Marcus Rashford will start while Wout Weghorst may lead the line again. The midfield partnership of Casemiro and Fred has worked wonders for them and the duo may start at Anfield.

Liverpool Starting XI vs Man United: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Bajcetic; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
