Probable Lineups

Team News

  • Jurgen Klopp should see welcome defensive reinforcements in the coming weeks, with Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and, crucially, Fabinho all back in training.
  • The match with Manchester United is still likely to come too soon for any of the three to start, while Naby Keita and James Milner are out.
  • Options in midfield remain somewhat limited, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adam Lallana and Takumi Minamino vying for a place alongside Jordan Henderson and Gigi Wijnaldum.
  • The big concern for United will be the fitness of Marcus Rashford, who is a major doubt after managing just 16 minutes as a second-half substitute due to a back injury in midweek.
  • For United, this will be the biggest fixture of the season, but risking long-term injury to their star player would be a huge gamble.
  • The striker is just the latest in a long line of potential absentees, leaving Solskjær with very little opportunity to rotate his squad, though Andreas Pereira may come in for Mason Greenwood.
