Whisper it, but Liverpool appear to be back. Going into the weekend fixtures, the Reds topped the Premier League table for the first time in more than two years. Their controversial defeat at Tottenham in late September remains their only EPL defeat this season and they've take 20 points from the last 24 available. Mo Salah is in fine fettle after picking up his 200th goal for the club. Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister misses out with a knee injury.
After finishing bottom of their Champions League group, ten Hag and Man Utd badly need a win. If last weekend's 3-0 Old Trafford defeat to Bournemouth was bad, the limp European exit on Tuesday was worse – no fight, no attack. With captain Bruno Fernandes suspended and Harry Maguire an injury doubt, their chances don't look good. The Red Devils haven't won at Anfield since January 2016.
