How Manchester United should line up vs Liverpool in Premier League fixture

Manchester United take on fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Erik ten Hag's side will now return to Premier League action with a visit to Anfield, a stadium where United have not won since Louis van Gaal was in charge in January 2016, when Wayne Rooney scored to claim a narrow 1-0 win.
