An age-old rivalry will be reignited when Premier League titans Liverpool and Manchester United face off on Sunday.
Arne Slot's side are currently in their worst run of form since he took over last summer, with Liverpool having lost three games in a row across all competitions, including a 2-1 loss to Chelsea in their last league match.
On the other hand, Manchester United bounced back after their 3-1 defeat to Brentford with a convincing 2-0 victory over Sunderland, which meant they have won two of their last three Premier League outings.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Ibrahima Konate was withdrawn from the France squad ahead of Monday's game against Iceland, but is back in training with Liverpool and expected to be fit. Wataru Endo remains a doubt.
“Ibou has come back to us, started the sessions again and is expected to train with us [on Friday].” Arne Slot said at his pre-match news conference.
Liverpool will be without Giovanni Leoni, who suffered a knee injury, and their first-choice goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, who has been sidelined with a thigh injury.

The Red Devils' defender Ayden Heaven's availability is reportedly uncertain after he picked up a knock.
Casemiro and Matheus Cunha should feature despite their lengthy trips back from South America.
