Manchester United vs Liverpool preview
Manchester United could quite easily be coming into this heavyweight clash on the back of two straight wins and looking up the table.
Sensationally, they welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford having lost two points at Brentford with a 99th minute equaliser and somehow left Stamford Bridge with nothing, despite leading in the 98th minute.
That game in London was probably the best of the season so far in terms of drama. Quality wise? The defending certainly left a lot to be desired.
United simply can't be as open as they were against the Blues when table-topping Liverpool visit for the second time in a matter of weeks.
That game also finished 4-3* (AET*) - though that time in United's favour, with Liverpool seeking revenge to keep their place at the summit.
Two goals in the final 15 minutes finally saw off plucky Sheffield United at Anfield on Thursday night to ensure they returned to the top with Arsenal and Manchester City winning previously in midweek.
Including that extra time FA Cup tie, a total of 25 goals have been scored in this fixture at Old Trafford in just the last five times they've faced off here.
Liverpool have won two of those and are odds-on to add to that record.

Manchester United vs Liverpool betting tips
Revenge
That FA Cup exit will have hurt Jurgen Klopp and he'll make sure his side is fully charged to react.
United's last two games have shown the squad depth isn't there as present with those costly late goals.
On the flip side, Liverpool's options are getting stronger and stronger and the bench will come into play here.
Liverpool haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last six games and that run can continue despite picking up three points.

Garna do it
Alejandro Garnacho looked for a long time to have been United's midweek matchwinner.
Alas, he had to watch on from the bench as they choked and robbed him of a big moment.
But has been a constant in this side for a while now and can capitalise on the counter for United with some efforts at goal, in the hope of adding to his Thursday double.

The End
Wataru Endo missed the Sheffield United game on Thursday with a knock but is expected to return for this one.
Will slot back into the midfield and will be looking to stop Bruno Fernandes getting on the ball.
Just as he did in his last game, that could lead to another booking for the Japanese star and we've plumped for some value in picking him to be first carded.
