Liverpool take on Manchester United at Anfield, with the visitors desperate to puncture their great rivals’ Premier League title dream.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds come into this one in fine form and will be looking to go top of the Premier League table with just six games left, building on their impressive victory over Manchester City in the semi-final of the FA Cup.
With an unprecedented quadruple looking increasingly possible, a strong win against their longtime rivals would only lift spirits further.
On the other hand, United will be keen to build on their momentum after a narrow 3-2 victory over Norwich City at Old Trafford last weekend, which catapulted them back into the race for the top four and potential UEFA Champions League football next season.
The match is overshadowed slightly for the visitors by the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo after the tragic loss of his baby boy.
This match carries huge significance in the races for the title and Europe, while it remains one of the biggest rivalries in world football.
