Manchester United vs Liverpool lineups, starting 11, latest team news: Defensive boost for beleaguered Ten Hag image

Liverpool have the Premier League title in their sights and revenge in mind when they head to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp's side were beaten 4-3 in an extra-time thriller last month as United booked their place in the FA Cup semifinals.

However, Erik ten Hag's men have neglected to build upon that success in tragicomic fashion, taking one point from two west London away games against Brentford and Chelsea despite having led both matches deep into stoppage time.

Recent form in the fixture does offer encouragement of sorts for the Red Devils. Last season's 7-0 humiliation at Anfield is United's only loss in the past four meetings between these two old rivals.

The Sporting News looks at the latest team news and projected lineups for a huge Premier League showdown.
