The teams are making their way out onto the field and kick-off is just moments away.
LATE CHANGE! United have been forced into a late alteration. Axel Tuanzebe was injured in the warm-up, so Marcos Rojo will replace him in the starting line-up.
Liverpool will regain their eight-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table with a victory today. Meanwhile, three points for 14th-placed United at Old Trafford could move them as high as seventh.
Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp makes three alterations from the victory over Leicester two weeks ago. The big one sees Alisson Becker return in goal, while Joel Matip has passed a late fitness test to start alongside Virgil van Dijk in the heart of defence. However, there is no Mo Salah for the Reds, so Divock Origi takes his place in the attacking trio with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes to the United side that were beaten by Newcastle before the international break. Aaron Wan-Bissaka returns from illness at right-back and Victor Lindelof is also back in the starting 11. David de Gea has shaken off a groin problem to take his place in goal, while Anthony Martial returns to the bench after a thigh injury.
SUBS: Adrian, Dejan Lovren, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adam Lallana.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson (captain), Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum; Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi.

MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Ashley Young (captain); Scott McTominay, Axel Tuanzebe, Fred; Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford, Daniel James.
Liverpool arrive at Old Trafford with history in their sights. Should the Reds prevail victorious, they will maintain their perfect start to the season and equal Manchester City’s record of 18 consecutive wins in the English top flight.
