Manchester United will be hoping to avoid a heavy defeat against Liverpool when they make the daunting trip to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils have failed to win any of their last eight away Premier League games against their biggest rivals. They have not even scored at Anfield since Jesse Lingard found the net in a 3-1 defeat in 2018.

United sit seven points above the relegation zone and will be the clear underdogs against Liverpool, who are on a three-game winning streak. However, the visitors will be boosted by the returns of Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte from suspension.

Man Utd predicted XI vs LiverpoolGoalkeeper - Onana

Andre Onana has been patchy in recent weeks but remains United's first-choice goalkeeper and that is unlikely to change any time soon. He has only kept one clean sheet against Liverpool, which came in last season's goalless draw at Anfield.

He will certainly have his work cut out to keep the likes of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo at bay this weekend.

Defence - Yoro, Maguire, Martinez

Leny Yoro could be introduced at the back for United, with Matthijs de Ligt dropping to the bench following his poor display against Newcastle in midweek.

Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez did not fare much better against the Magpies but will likely be preferred to Jonny Evans, while Victor Lindelof remains unavailable due to injury.

Midfield - Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot

The wide roles are likely to remain untouched, with Noussair Mazraoui on the right and Diogo Dalot occupying the left flank. However, there could be changes in the middle with Kobbie Mainoo coming in for Christian Eriksen.

Ugarte, who served a one-game suspension against Newcastle, is available to play and should replace Casemiro following his dire display in midweek.

It would be a surprise to see Fernandes left out of the starting side, having also served a suspension against Newcastle. He will almost certainly be joined by Amad Diallo, who is one of United's few shining lights at the moment.

Rasmus Hojlund, meanwhile, will likely replace Joshua Zirkzee up front with the latter still smarting from his early substitution against the Magpies.

Predicted Man Utd XI - Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Amad, Fernandes, Hojlund.
