Lindelof and Henderson to start — Manchester United predicted line up vs Liverpool

Manchester United look set to rotate their team once again for this weekend's FA Cup clash against Liverpool.

United face their second game against Jurgen Klopp's side in a week, this time welcoming Liverpool to Old Trafford for a fourth round cup contest. The two teams have experienced contrasting results since the 0-0 at Anfield — United beating Fulham and Liverpool beaten by Burnley at home — but it could be another tight affair on Sunday afternoon.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed United would make changes from the 2-1 win at Craven Cottage, with Victor Lindelof, Dean Henderson, Marcus Rashford and Alex Telles likely to be among those coming into the line-up.

Donny van de Beek will be desperate to start, having been starved of game time in recent weeks, while Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial could be rested.

Solskjaer gave a strong hint over his team news in the build-up to the game, as United look to secure their first win this season against 'big six' opposition.

"We'll rotate, that's for sure," Solskjaer said. "We'll put a decent team together of course, a team I feel can win the game. Of course, the focus is now on the FA Cup.

"We know it's a difficult tie. I'm not the best on draws so I think they should try to get someone else in if they want an easy draw.

"Victor will be fine for the weekend, it was just too quick a turnaround we felt with the travel and with his back. I wanted to play Eric [against Fulham] when Victor's not ready anyway.

"Now we've got four days extra. Victor got his treatment this morning and a little bit of light training so he should be ready for the weekend."

Predicted United XI: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani.
