Liverpool can tighten their grip at the top of the table with a win over Manchester United at Anfield this afternoon.
Reds boss Arne Slot has made just one change from the side that beat West Ham 5-0 last time out with Ibrahima Konate fit to return from injury. The Frenchman replaces Joe Gomez in the back four as he starts alongside Virgil van Dijk.
Andrew Robertson continues at left-back for Liverpool while Trent Alexander-Arnold lines-up at right-back amid speculation surrounding his future at the club. Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis MacAllister start in midfield for Liverpool with Curtis Jones also starting in the absence of Dominik Szoboszlai – who remains out due to illness.
Mohamed Salah will be looking to continue his sensational season with the Egyptian international starting on the right flank once again. Luis Diaz keeps his place on the left wing after scoring the opening goal against West Ham while Cody Gakpo also keeps his place up front ahead of Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.
As for Manchester United, Andre Onana starts in goal once again while Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot occupy the wing-back positions. The back three is made-up of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Magurie and Lisandro Martinez.
