Manchester United stayed at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester on Saturday evening rather than an overnight stay in Liverpool.
They plan to have their pre-match meal there on Sunday before travelling across to Anfield where they expect a hostile reception.
Marcus Rashford was not seen among the squad which arrived at the hotel.
The striker had been doubtful after suffering a back injury in Wednesday's FA Cup victory over Wolves.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had admitted that he did not expect Rashford to play, although he was due to have a fitness test.
