How to follow United v Liverpool
One of the biggest games in the English calendar takes place on Sunday, when Manchester United face Liverpool at Old Trafford.
The blockbuster clash kicks off at 16:00 BST, with United looking to bounce back from the late defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion and end the Merseysiders' 100 per cent start to life under Arne Slot.
The teams met in the United States, as part of Tour 2024, presented by Snapdragon, with Slot's men winning 3-0, but atmosphere should be electric this weekend after two pulsating encounters at home to the Anfield outfit in 2023/24.
Following an unforgettable 4-3 triumph in the Emirates FA Cup quarter-final, a 2-2 draw in the Premier League followed, and it could be just as entertaining this time around. For details on how to watch the action and the latest from both camps, read on...

WHAT'S THE TEAM NEWS?
Neither side is in Carabao Cup combat this midweek, due to European qualification, so a full week on the training ground will boost preparation for the Old Trafford clash.
United were without Rasmus Hojlund, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro for the defeat to Brighton, while Mason Mount was withdrawn at half-time on the south coast.
Liverpool appear to only have one doubt, in the shape of midfielder Curtis Jones. Trent Alexander-Arnold was substituted in their 2-0 victory over Brentford last Sunday, but not because of injury.
THE CLASSIC ENGLISH RIVALRY
The history of this fixture is well versed with the clubs meeting for the 215th time, in all competitions, on Sunday. It represents a 33rd home game against the Merseysiders in the Premier League, with United coming out on top in over half of these matches (53.13 per cent) and scoring 50 times in the process.
The aforementioned 2-2 scoreline last season was the same outcome as the first outing in the rebranded division in 1992, when Mark Hughes scored twice, including a late equaliser.
Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo netted the goals in the 2023/24 clash, with Luis Diaz and a Mohamed Salah penalty accounting for the visitors' efforts.
Salah is a clear danger man, having netted in each of the last four of these fixtures at the Theatre of Dreams, including a hat-trick in 2021.
