Liverpool could go top of the Premier League table for at least 24 hours as they look to turn the pressure up on title rivals Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's side will welcome Manchester United at Anfield as the home side look to leapfrog City as they sit just one point behind the league leaders.
The Reds are the heavy favourites going into this match at 2/5 with Betfred while for United it is 6/1 and a draw is 4/1. The Reds will be looking to complete a league double over the Red Devils for the first time since 2013/14 after a convincing performance at Old Trafford earlier this season saw them score five.
The hosts will be frustrated they could not seal top spot when they had the chance at the Etihad Stadium just nine days ago in a brilliant end-to-end 2-2 draw but did get the win at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final against Pep Guardiola's side to keep the Premier League dreams alive.

Ralf Rangnick will have a lot to do to address United's form as they sit just three points behind Tottenham Hotspur but are winless at Anfield in their last five league trips - netting just once in these matches. The last time Liverpool had such a strong head-to-head record at home was back in the 1970s where they were undefeated at home against their arch-rivals in the league winning seven and drawing twice.

Player to watch
Mo Salah's form has taken a bit of a hit recently which has been unusual for the Egyptian winger after such an incredible start to the season. A mixture of contract talks plus missing out on the African Cup of Nations in the final and World Cup qualification may well play a part for the former Chelsea player but he is still having an incredible season with 28 goals from 41 appearances in all competitions.
He has not scored in his last three Premier League appearances and has played 197 minutes of league football without finding the net so far, the longest he has gone without a goal this season. Big games need big players and Mo Salah is still very much in that bracket and is 4/5 to score anytime.
