Liverpool team news: Predicted XI vs Man Utd as Jurgen Klopp seeks Reds revenge
Liverpool travel to Old Trafford on Sunday for the second time in three weeks.
Liverpool will rock up at Old Trafford on Sunday in the hope of avenging their agonising 4-3 FA Cup defeat last month. Nothing less than three points will do for Jurgen Klopp's side as they look to preserve their Premier League title chances, with Arsenal and Manchester City waiting to pounce. Here, Express Sport takes you through how the Reds are likely to line up against Manchester United...
Liverpool's predicted XI (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper: Kelleher
Caoimhin Kelleher has been the main man between the sticks ever since Alisson Becker was struck down by injury in early February. The Brazilian's recovery from a thigh issue is coming along and he is set to be back in team training in the next few weeks, but the United game will come far too early.
With 24 appearances in all competitions, this is already by far and away the most active season of Kelleher's career, and the 25-year-old will once again be called upon to hold down the fort on Sunday.
Defence: Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson
Trent Alexander-Arnold hopes to be back amongst the action in 'a couple of weeks', but for now, breakout star Conor Bradley looks set to continue at right-back. The youngster is in need of a steady display after netting an own goal against Sheffield United last time out.
Ibrahima Konate went down under a sketchy challenge from William Osula against the Blades, but the Frenchman got to his feet and finished the game, leaving him in line to start against United alongside the ever-dependable Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson.

Midfield: Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister
Wataru Endo has been a steadying presence in the middle of the park since his bargain summer switch from Stuttgart, and the Japanese has proved himself key to bringing the best out of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister either side of him.
Endo was rested for the 3-1 win over Sheffield United but he is firmly in contention to face the Red Devils. And his industry could be invaluable to Klopp as Liverpool look to stem United's creativity, led by skipper Bruno Fernandes. Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones are all set to miss out through injury.

Attack: Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz have all been on the scoresheet since last weekend, with the former netting against Sheffield United and the latter duo firing Liverpool to a 2-1 win over Brighton.
The attacking threesome provides pace and directness in bucketloads, which is exactly what Klopp will demand from them in light of United's defensive injury woes, with Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof both facing several weeks on the sidelines.
Diogo Jota will soon return to first-team training but Sunday's clash will come too soon for the Portuguese.
