Liverpool get the chance to add insult to injury on Sunday afternoon in their Premier League clash against Manchester United. Jurgen Klopp’s side look destined to win the title this season, and they could put a huge dent in United’s hopes of finishing in this season’s top four.

The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford earlier this season.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the home side, before Adam Lallana equalised in the dying minutes of the match.
As the two teams go head-to-head once more this weekend, Express Sport has developed a combined XI from the two teams.
Liverpool make up the majority of the team, while United have just two players in the starting XI - and bare in mind, this team is assuming all players are fit.

Liverpool vs Manchester United combined XI
Alisson got the nod ahead of David De Gea, as the Spaniard has had a torrid 18 months for the Red Devils.
De Gea has slipped out of the elite goalkeeper club since the start of last season, owing to his numerous errors leading to goals.
Liverpool’s full-backs are arguably the best combination in world football, and are joined by Virgil van Dijk.
Harry Maguire narrowly makes the team ahead of Joel Matip, although the two centre-backs are largely interchangeable.
