The two great powerhouses of English football go head to head at Old Trafford this weekend as Manchester United look to put a huge dent in Liverpool’s title ambitions on Sunday.
Liverpool, hunting for a first league title since 1990, currently trail United’s local rivals, Manchester City on goal difference. However, if Jurgen Klopp’s side can draw or win their game in hand at the home of their bitter rivals, the Merseysiders would overhaul City at the top of the table.
However, United supporters will be desperate to ensure that they spoil Liverpool’s pursuit for a first league title in 29 years, to hand the initiative to Manchester City instead – given their added rivalry with the Reds.
A victory for the hosts on Sunday could also effectively guarantee the permanent manager’s job for interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has had quite the impact at Manchester United since taking over in December.
Ahead of the game, we drew up a combined XI from players of the two sides..
