Afternoon

13:00: Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.

I don’t want to alarm anyone - but there’s a huge yellow thing in the sky and it’s NOT baltic outside.

That’s the obligatory small talk about the weather done with - now for the important stuff.

Hours before the Carabao Cup final takes place in the capital, Old Trafford plays host to an even more hotly-anticipated clash.

Manchester United are going for a 12th win in 14 matches in all competitions and remain unbeaten in nine league matches, while Liverpool are in second position on goal difference behind Manchester City, who have played one game more.

It basically doesn’t get bigger than this. Standby for the team news and line-ups…

Anthony Martial (groin) and Jesse Lingard (hamstring) could return for Manchester United. The duo were expected to be out until early March with injuries sustained against Paris St Germain. David De Gea is set to return in goal but Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo are still fighting their way back from injury.

Virgil Van Dijk will return from European suspension for Liverpool to bolster a back-line missing Dejan Lovren (hamstring) and Joe Gomez (broken leg). Rhian Brewster (ankle) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) are both making progress but neither is in contention to return this weekend.
