Games between the two sides tend to be tense affairs, as neither team wants to lose. It remains to be seen if the same will happen come Sunday.
While Manchester United still have an outside chance of winning the Premier League, Liverpool hope to finish in the top four.
Mark Lawrenson believes both teams will score, but has predicted the game will finish 1-1.
Lawrenson cited Manchester United’s poor defensive record to back up his predictions:
Liverpool will have to go for the win against Manchester United to usurp Chelsea
The race for the top four is perhaps more interesting than the title race itself. Liverpool are four points behind Chelsea and need to win their remaining games to stand any chance of displacing the Blues in the top four.
Liverpool dropped two valuable points last weekend when a last-gasp equalizer by Newcastle United denied them a win.
Beating Manchester United will be easier said than done. The Red Devils put in a commanding attacking display against AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday.
Manchester United conceded twice but scored an incredible six goals to essentially secure the tie in the first leg.
Liverpool will have to be wary of an in-form Manchester United attack, as the duo of Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak have been unable to see out games and tend to switch off at times.
