Manchester United head into the match fresh from knocking Chelsea out of the FA Cup in the fifth round with their first victory at Stamford Bridge since 2012.

The Red Devils could be boosted further by the return of key attackers Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial from injury.Solskjaer will also be hoping Paul Pogba can maintain his excellent form. The Frenchman did not feature in December's defeat at Anfield but will play on Sunday.

Pogba is the Premier League's form player with eight goals and five assists in his last nine league games.

Solskjaer has also said he may not be the man to give the team talk against Liverpool

The Reds come into the game after being held to a goalless draw by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield on Tuesday.

Liverpool may have fired a blank against Bayern, but they have scored in every single one of their Premier League away matches so far this season.

Victory for Liverpool would give the Reds a three-point cushion at the top of the table, with this fixture their game in hand over Manchester City, meaning there is a huge incentive to go for the win at Old Trafford.
