The Reds are currently one place and two points behind fourth placed Manchester United and a win in the derby match will see them move into the top four, a position they won’t surrender lightly having won five league matches in a row.
GK: Simon Mignolet
The Belgian ‘keeper has kept an impressive 12 clean sheets in a season where his personal form has mirrored that of his club, due to an upturn for both since January.
RCB: Emre Can
The centre back/holding midfielder has been a revelation for the Merseyside club since his summer move from Leverkusen. After starting the season with an injury, he has gone from strength to strength with some brilliant performances.
CB: Martin Skrtel
The Slovakian adds steel and ugliness with his game to Liverpool’s backline. It’s unlikely Manchester United’s forwards will fancy themselves in a 50/50 with him.
LCB: Mamadou Sakho
Since making the £18 million move from Paris Saint-Germain, Sakho has struggled to excel. The French international will hope to thwart and Red Devils attack and put in a performance worthy of his pricetag in this pressure game.
