Premier League's Most Anticipated Showdown: The Red Derby Kicks Off This Sunday

Two of English football’s biggest rivals face off at Old Trafford this Sunday, and the timing is perfect. Manchester United, currently third in the Premier League with 61 points, host a Liverpool side trailing just behind in fourth with 58.

United only need two more points from their final four games to lock in a Champions League spot for next season, so a win here would pretty much get the job done. With both teams fighting for a top-four finish, this is going to be one of the most intense North West derbies in years.

Liverpool arrive in Manchester following three straight league wins, picking up maximum points against Everton, Crystal Palace, and Fulham. This bounce-back comes after a tough April where they slumped to three defeats. United, on the other hand, have really found their groove under Michael Carrick. They’ve managed to score in every single one of Carrick’s 13 games so far, which is a stat that shows just how much confidence this front line has right now.

Bruno Fernandes is currently just one assist away from matching the Premier League single-season record of 20, held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry. Breaking that record against Liverpool at home would be a massive statement.

Looking back at October’s meeting at Anfield, United walked away with a 2-1 win thanks to an early goal from Bryan Mbeumo and a late Harry Maguire winner after Cody Gakpo had equalised. Liverpool will definitely be out for revenge, and with so much on the line, neither side is going to be happy with a draw.

Predicted Lineups

Manchester United News:

Winning just one of their four Premier League fixtures from March 4 to April 13 was a minor bump in the road rather than the start of a steady decline for Man United under Michael Carrick, whose side are now one win away from returning to the European elite.After taking just five points from 12 during that aforementioned run, the Red Devils have responded with back-to-back one-goal triumphs, edging out Chelsea 1-0 before a 2-1 win over Brentford courtesy of Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko's efforts on Monday night.Eleven points clear of sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion with four games remaining, Man United will qualify for the Champions League if they win on Sunday; a draw would also be enough if Brighton do not beat Newcastle United, and even a loss would suffice if the Seagulls fail to win and Bournemouth slip up against Crystal Palace.

Man United are likely to have all of their attacking options at their disposal this week, as Matheus Cunha was pictured in training on Thursday after missing the Brentford victory with a minor hip injury.There is also optimism that Luke Shaw will be fine to feature, despite coming off injured last time out, while defensive duo Matthijs de Ligt (back) and Lisandro Martinez (suspended) are both missing.Courtesy of his helper for Sesko on Monday, Fernandes is now just one Premier League assist away from equalling Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne's single-season record of 20, set in 2002-03 and 2019-20 respectively.However, Man United's biggest injury boost for Sunday's game is actually on Liverpool's side, as Mohamed Salah has been denied one last hurrah against the Red Devils due to the hamstring injury he sustained last weekend.

Liverpool News:

A win for Man United and nothing else matters for their top-five chances, but the permutations are slightly more complicated for their bitter rivals, who start the gameweek three points adrift of their hosts in the top-flight rankings.In order to make sure of their Champions League ticket with three games to spare, Liverpool must win and hope that Brighton and Bournemouth drop points; a draw would not cut it, as Brighton would at worst be nine points behind with three games left to play.Speaking of threes, however, the reigning champions are revelling in a three-match winning sequence in the top flight, overcoming Crystal Palace 3-1 last weekend on a day where the result was overshadowed by a mass protest against the owners over ticket price rises.A more welcome kind of rise was the Reds rising to fourth in the Premier League table, but Sunday's visitors have only won one of their last 12 top-flight games against teams starting the day in the top three, drawing seven of them.

Liverpool have affirmed that the 33-year-old is expected back before the end of the season - meaning that he has most likely not played his final game for the club just yet - but he will not have the chance to add to his staggering 16 goals and eight assists against Man United.Salah joins Jayden Danns (hamstring), Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Conor Bradley (knee), Giovanni Leoni (knee), Wataru Endo (ankle) and Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee), while Alisson Becker (unspecified) is yet to train and is therefore a major doubt.Slot also revealed in his pre-game press conference that Milos Kerkez is suffering from a niggle, but Andrew Robertson - scorer of last weekend's second goal - should feature from the off in Man Utd vs. Liverpool for the last time regardless.
