PREVIEW: LIVERPOOL V MANCHESTER UNITED

How to follow the match: Manchester United's Barclays Premier League trip to Liverpool kicks off at 14:05 GMT on Sunday and will be screened live on Sky Sports in the UK. You can follow the action in ManUtd.com's live match blog from Anfield or via @ManUtd on Twitter, while MUTV will broadcast live matchday programmes at 13:00 and 16:00 GMT before showing the match in full at midnight.

Scene-setter: It’s the 194th edition of arguably the most famous rivalry in English football, as United make the short trip down the M62 to do battle with Liverpool. The two sides are fighting to get into the top four and both go into the game on the back of 3-3 draws. United have had the upper hand in this fixture recently, having won the last three encounters.

Form guide: On Tuesday, United were denied a third consecutive win in all competitions at the start of 2016, when Paul Dummett netted a late equaliser for Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The following day, it was Liverpool who were scoring a last-gasp leveller to secure a 3-3 draw, at home to leaders Arsenal. The Merseysiders’ league form has been patchy, with two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six league games, and they are ninth in the table, three points behind United.

Latest team news: Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phil Jones missed the Newcastle game with knee and ankle injuries respectively, and Louis van Gaal will likely provide an update on their fitness in his Friday afternoon press conference. Marcos Rojo, Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw are all still sidelined. Liverpool have several injury problems, with key playmaker Philippe Coutinho, Martin Skrtel and Divock Origi all out, and both Daniel Sturridge and Dejan Lovren struggling to be fit in time for this weekend’s clash. Danny Ings and Joe Gomez are long-term absentees but Steven Caulker has been drafted in on loan.

View from the dressing room: "In recent times, we’ve done very well against them so we’re very confident of going there and causing them a problem."– Chris Smalling

View from the opposition camp: "These games are always great occasions, games you want to be involved in as professionals and look forward to." – Joe Allen

Danger men: With Coutinho sidelined, Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino has stepped up to the plate as both a creative and goalscoring threat for Jurgen Klopp’s side, netting twice in the midweek draw with Arsenal. Christian Benteke remains a formidable presence up front and scored a spectacular overhead kick in Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford in September, his third in consecutive fixtures against the Reds after his Aston Villa exploits.

Trivia: United’s next goal at Anfield will be the club’s 100th there in all competitions against Liverpool, with the Reds’ tally of 99 so far comprising 92 in the league and seven in cups. United’s first goal at the Merseysiders’ home was scored in October 1895 by Joe Cassidy, in the clubs’ only Division Two meeting there, when Newton Heath were drubbed 7-1. Our most recent strike at Anfield was Juan Mata’s unforgettable acrobatic effort in March.

Referee: Mark Clattenburg takes charge of his fourth United game of the season, having presided over September’s 3-2 win at Southampton and the home goalless draws with Manchester City and West Ham United, in October and December respectively.

Rivals watch: In the only other Premier League game on Sunday, leaders Arsenal visit seventh-placed Stoke City at 16:15 GMT. The other four sides above United in the table are all in action on Saturday: Tottenham Hotspur host Sunderland (12:45 GMT), Man City welcome Crystal Palace (15:00 GMT), West Ham are at Newcastle (15:00 GMT) and Leicester City face a Midlands derby away at rock-bottom Aston Villa (17:30 GMT).

Berhubung Rooney bakal dijaga ketat, kayaknya Martial yg bakal jadi bintang malam ini.
Lini pertahanan? Doakan saja baik-baik saja

United gelagapan. Dah kayak kalah mental duluan. United serasa mental Bothwick dan Liverpool kayak Sakho semua.

Martial pasti kecapean. Nyerang dari dia mulu. Nyuruh dia lari terus. Lini tengah nyaris nggak ada bantuan buat nyerang.

0-0 aja bisa jadi beruntung.
