Liverpool have a trip to Old Trafford to take care of on Sunday afternoon after watching title rivals Manchester City win against Crystal Palace while Chelsea and Leicester City pushed further up in the table as well.
Prior to the internatinal break, the Reds faced Leicester City at home in a match which went right down to the wire as a late penalty kick of James Milner sealed a narrow 2-1 win.
Manchester City were beaten 2-0 at home by Wolves that same weekend as Liverpool took a big eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table before much of the squad went out to represent their countries.
The fact that Pep Guardiola’s side have now bounced back with a win away to Crystal Palace means the Reds have no room to drop points against Manchester United tomorrow.
Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by the Red Devils in this fixture last season and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping a strong line-up will see the team leave Old Trafford with all of the three points.
