Liverpool have Ryan Gravenbirch and Alexis McAllister starting in midfield, with Curtis Jones also starting while Dominik Szoboszlai is absent due to illness.
Mohamed Salah will continue his sensational season with the Egyptian international starting on the right wing once again. Luis Dias has maintained his position on the left wing after scoring the opening goal against West Ham, while Codi Gakpo has also maintained his position up front, ahead of Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.
As for Manchester United, Andre Onana once again started in goal, with Nousser Mazraoui and Diogo Daro occupying the wing-back positions. The back three consists of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Magley and Lisandro Martinez.
