Manchester United have not lost a league match since October 23rd. With six league wins in their last six, the team has really picked up since the beginning of the year. They have just three losses all year, but six draws. United is hoping those dropped points do not come back to bite them at the end of the year.

United are desperate for all three points from this fixture. A win could bring them as high as tied for third, which would be a huge boost for the club. They will certainly be looking to challenge for the title as the year goes on, and this match is a perfect opportunity to continue their run. Mourinho will certainly be looking for nothing less than a win, and the squad he picks will show just how forward thinking the manager is going to be.

Liverpool will be eager to erase their embarrassing 2-2 draw against Sunderland. Klopp will look to come out firing and should prove tough to deal with. He has always been known as an intense manager, and would have had some choice words for his team after two dropped points against a struggling Sunderland side. United will look to keep their shape and deal with Liverpool’s high pressing offense on their quest to the top of the table.
