Liverpool v Man Utd

Key stats

• Liverpool have kept clean sheets in three of their last four league encounters

Expert verdict

Liverpool have not defeated Manchester United in the league since 2014 but Jurgen Klopp’s men can illustrate their superiority with a comfortable Anfield victory over their rivals. The hosts have affirmed their status as Man City’s closest title challengers in recent weeks, with Saturday’s 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth making it five successive Premier League victories. The Red Devils recorded their biggest win of the campaign in beating struggling Fulham 4-1 on Saturday but have been unconvincing for the majority of the campaign and have failed to win any of their four meetings with big-six rivals, crumbling under pressure in 3-0 and 3-1 defeats to Tottenham and Man City respectively.
