Liverpool meet Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, with both sides set to take on the Horns in a high-profile fixture at Anfield
Jurgen Klopp’s men cruised to a 2-0 victory over Wolves last time out, while a much-changed Manchester United XI side emerged victorious from West Ham United and progressed to the FA quarter-finals Cup.
While Tottenham Hotspur suffered a loss to Wolves on Saturday, a win over rivals United would be a welcome boost for Liverpool in their quest for a top four finish this season.
When: Sunday, March 5, 2023
Time: 6:00 p.m. GMT
Location: Anfield
TEAM NEWS
Naby Keita’s move is called late as the midfielder remains a fitness issue ahead of Sunday’s derby competition in Merseyside.
Klopp could issue recalls to Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson sitting on the win over Wolves, while Harvey Eliott and Kostas Tsimikas could be benched.
Diogo Jota impressed on Wednesday against his former club but it may be unrealistic to expect him to start a third game in a week after so long on the injury list.
Therefore, Cody Gakpo is expected to return to the starting XI alongside Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah up front, while Andrew Robertson and Jordan Henderson will probably be restored to the side in place of Kostas Tsimikas and Harvey Elliott.
For United, Christian Eriksen (ankle) and Donny van de Beek (knee) are still out, but Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho are expected to return to contention after missing Wednesday’s win over West Ham.
Ten Hag revealed that Shaw sustained a minor injury at Wembley and Sancho had been suffering with a bout of illness.
The Dutchman named a second-string starting line-up against the Hammers, making six changes to Sunday’s Carabao Cup-winning team with the likes of Casemiro, Fred, Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford beginning the tie on the bench.
That quartet, plus Raphael Varane and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, look likely to return to the team that walks out into the heat of battle at Anfield and there is a small chance Anthony Martial could be available off the bench following a hip injury.
