Manchester United head into their mammoth clash with Liverpool in the midst of an injury crisis.
The Red Devils travel to Anfield on Wednesday evening looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League, all while halting Jurgen Klopp and co's assault on the title and avenging a 5-0 thrashing at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture. But interim manager Ralf Rangnick will be without at least five first-term stars for the grudge match due to injury, further limiting his resources ahead of a crunch period.
Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Fred, Scott McTominay and Edinson Cavani have all been ruled out by Rangnick and Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be absent after suffering the tragic loss of one of his newborn twins with partner Georgina Rodriguez. Ronaldo was the hat-trick hero last time out, as United defeated Norwich City 3-2 on Saturday to move within three points and one place of the top four.
