The last time these sides met at Old Trafford, United ran out 2-1 winners in Ten Hag's third game in charge thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. However, the Dutchman is yet to mastermind his side to victory over Liverpool, having suffered a historic 7-0 defeat at Anfield last March before a resolute performance nine months later saw United leave L4 with a share of the spoils in the last Premier League meeting between the two sides.

However, Ten Hag could continue to be without several key players for Sunday's game, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial and Omari Forson all out of action. Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez will also miss out on the clash between the two fierce rivals despite progressing significantly in their journeys to full fitness this week.
The involvement of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Rasmus Hojlund remains to be seen, with Ten Hag admitting after last weekend's win against Everton that he was hopeful of being able to count on the trio against Liverpool.
