The Reds can take a big step towards cementing a top-four place in the Premier League with victory against the in-form Midlanders, whose outstanding run has propelled them into sixth place in the table, six points behind United. Unai Emery's side have played two more fixtures, however, and Ten Hag's men will appreciate the chance to kick on after conceding a two-goal lead at Tottenham, last time out.
The boss has opted to make two changes to the XI that started the draw with Spurs, which could see Bruno Fernandes shifted to the right, with Harry Maguire fit enough to return on the bench.
