Nat Phillips is included in the Liverpool FC starting eleven as Jurgen Klopp’s side hope to retain their top-four hopes when taking on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The recent stalemate against Newcastle United for the Reds had made major dents in their quest to achieve a Champions League qualifying spot but they would aim to secure the result in their favour from what is a must-win game on the road for them.
Mane-Salah-Firmino frontline to take the field
Jurgen Klopp makes the decision to drop Diogo Jota and revert back to his usual attacking combine of Sadio Mane, Mohammad Salah and Roberto Firmino for today’s clash.
Despite his encouraging form post his return from injury Jota had failed to hit the ground running when in the final third of the pitch since these past couple of weeks.
Phillips returns at centre-back, Fabinho shifts to midfield
With the much-anticipated return of Nat Phillips to the heart of the Liverpool FC backline, Fabinho shifts back to his usual holding role in midfield with James Milner also coming in at the centre of the park.
Phillips had missed the last few outings due to a minor hamstring niggle which had forced Klopp to draft Fabinho in the centre-back role as a makeshift option.
Here is how both sides lineup for the upcoming Premier League fixture:
Manchester United FC XI
Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba, Rashford
Liverpool FC XI
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Kabak, Phillips, Robertson, Alcantara, Fabinho, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Mane
