Liverpool f.c. vs Man United lineups

Two colossal English teams partake in an old-aged rivalry as Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield.

United then travel to Spain for the return leg of the clash against Betis on the 16th of March. Klopp's men then face Manchester City at the Etihad on the 1st of April. Although Manchester United’s record on the road could be a point of concern for their Dutch manager.

Liverpool take on Man United in a crucial Premier League clash this evening, with Jurgen Klopp making three changes to his starting lineup.

[Fabinho](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/fabinho/) keeps his place in midfield and is joined by [Jordan Henderson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/jordan-henderson/) and [Harvey Elliott](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/harvey-elliott/), with a big call made in attack. [Alisson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/alisson/) starts and will look to make it three clean sheets in a row for the first time this season in all competitions – and a fifth consecutive league shutout. [Mohamed Salah](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/mohamed-salah/) and [Darwin Nunez](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/darwin-nunez/) starts [Cody Gakpo](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/cody-gakpo/), who is expected to lead the line as striker. [Alisson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/alisson/); Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; [Fabinho](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/fabinho/), Henderson, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/trent-alexander-arnold/), [Ibrahima Konate](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/ibrahima-konate/), [Virgil van Dijk](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/virgil-van-dijk/) and [Andy Robertson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/andrew-robertson/).

Midfield also sees one player come in, with Jordan Henderson replacing Harvey Elliott. Fabinho stays as the anchor, with Stefan Bajcetic providing energy. And ...

The Reds skipper will be paramount in the quest of quelling Marcus Rashford's impact on the game and will line up alongside Bajcetic and Fabinho. In defence, Alisson keeps his place between the sticks while Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk set their stall out in front of the Brazilian as the pair are rewarded for a commanding display against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out. While Cody Gakpo will offer Klopp's men a more robust presence down the middle as he goes up against Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane. Having named a relatively young partnership of Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic in mid-week, the arrival of Erik ten Hag's side on Merseyside is the suitable time to welcome Jordan Henderson back into the XI. It was a bold call from Klopp to name teenagers Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic either side of Fabinho in midweek but it worked. Ibrahima Konate needs a sustained run in the team now after his recent return to fitness. Kostas Tsimikas did really well in midweek, but it would be a surprise if he kept his place ahead of Andy Robertson. If he has another 70 minutes in him, I'm naming the Portugal international alongside Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah. Midfield, as is always the case, is the big dilemma for Klopp. The weekend's results could hardly have gone better for Liverpool so far. The big question is who makes that third spot? One would be at left-back, where Andy Robertson returns.
