The fourth-round tie takes place at Old Trafford on Wednesday 21 December, hot on the heels on Sunday's World Cup final.
Due to the close proximity to the tournament in Qatar, it remains to be seen which Reds will be available for selection in the clash with the top team in the Championship.
With Argentina's Lisandro Martinez and France mainstay Raphael Varane still involved in Qatar, both defenders are highly unlikely to feature. Victor Lindelof played in both friendly matches, against Cadiz and Real Betis, and looks in contention to start, possibly alongside Harry Maguire, depending when the England international is back in the fold.
