Liverpool take on Manchester United at Anfield tonight.

Liverpool take on Manchester United this evening as two of the great rivals of English football lock horns yet again at Anfield.

The Reds head into the game having won each of their last four Premier League games, scoring 13 goals in that run as their attack flourishes under Jurgen Klopp.

Tonight, Klopp has been forced to tinker with his side, as both Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana are missing, meaning Emre Can comes into midfield alongside Jordan Henderson.

It appears to be a three-man attacking midfield of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, who start behind striker Daniel Sturridge.

Lallana is fit to make the bench, and he’s joined by fellow substitutes Divock Origi, Ragnar Klavan, Lucas Leiva, Alberto Moreno as well as substitute goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Meanwhile, Manchester United may have won their first three Premier League games, but have now won just one of their last four Premier League fixtures.

The Red Devils keep Daley Blind at left back this evening despite Luke Shaw’s return to fitness, whilst there is a shock start for winger Ashley Young out wide, with Anthony Martial not in the squad at all.

Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all start too, whilst Young’s shock inclusion mean that Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are on the bench.

They join Wayne Rooney as substitutes, as well as Shaw and veteran midfielder Michael Carrick, as Jose Mourinho chases a win at Anfield.
