One of the biggest games in the Premier League calendar takes place on Sunday when Manchester United head to Anfield to take on Liverpool.
Liverpool wrapped up their Europa League group stage campaign with a dead-rubber defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise but will be aiming to end the weekend where they started it; at the top of the Premier League table.
Having been knocked out of Europe entirely, the Red Devils badly need to offer some sort of reaction to stop the pressure building on Erik ten Hag.
This fixture has brought nothing but pain for Man Utd fans in recent memory, with the Reds often winning and usually by a healthy scoreline. Last season's 7-0 defeat was arguably the lowest point of Ten Hag's reign as manager so far.
Here's all you need to know about Liverpool vs Man Utd in the Premier League this weekend.

Liverpool vs Manchester United score prediction
Even if Man Utd had their full squad available, Liverpool would still be the clear favourites to get all three points here just because they have the Red Devils' number at Anfield. They are in great form right now, look confident and are just a better team.
Chuck in that long list of Man Utd absences and it feels like they are arriving on Merseyside three goals down. It would take an incredibly out-of-character performance from both sides for this to go the way of Ten Hag's side.
Maybe this time, Man Utd can stop it from getting too embarrassing.
