14 players set to miss crunch FA Cup tie as Manchester United and Liverpool ravaged by injuries

Manchester United and Liverpool could be without a combined 14 players when they meet in a mouthwatering FA Cup quarter-final tie at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Reds welcome Jurgen Klopp's high-flying Liverpool to Old Trafford knowing that the FA Cup presents their last chance of achieving silverware this season after early exits in the Champions League and League Cup.

The Anfield outfit, meanwhile, having already secured a League Cup triumph against Chelsea last month, are fighting on multiple fronts as they look to give the departing Klopp a trophy-laden send-off at the end of May.

The last time these sides met at Old Trafford, United ran out 2-1 winners in Ten Hag's third game in charge thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. However, the Dutchman is yet to mastermind his side to victory over Liverpool, having suffered a historic 7-0 defeat at Anfield last March before a resolute performance nine months later saw United leave L4 with a share of the spoils in the last Premier League meeting between the two sides.

However, Ten Hag could continue to be without several key players for Sunday's game, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial and Omari Forson all out of action. Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez will also miss out on the clash between the two fierce rivals despite progressing significantly in their journeys to full fitness this week.

The involvement of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Rasmus Hojlund remains to be seen, with Ten Hag admitting after last weekend's win against Everton that he was hopeful of being able to count on the trio against Liverpool.
