Liverpool vs Man Utd starting XIs confirmed as Klopp and Ten Hag make key changes

The starting XIs for Liverpool vs Manchester United have been confirmed - and both Jurgen Klopp and Erik ten Hag have made changes from their last fixture.

Klopp's Reds are looking to extend their unbeaten league run to four games as they chase Champions League qualification.

Ten Hag's United, meanwhile, are hoping to close the gap to second-placed Manchester City, who beat Newcastle 2-0 on Saturday.

The Red Devils have not lost a game in any competition since the 3-2 defeat to league leaders Arsenal on January 22, and have won nine of their last 11 fixtures.

United did have key injury concerns heading into the fixture, with Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Luke Shaw all requiring late fitness tests, as per The United Stand and Daily Mail.

Liverpool, meanwhile, had injury issues of their own, with Naby Keita having missed Wednesday's 2-0 win over Wolves with a knock. Thiago and Luis Diaz were both ruled out by Klopp as they continue their recoveries from injury.

Both sides have now named their starting XIs for the match - and there are changes.
