Key Players to watch out for:

1.Antony Martial:The French striker has been in good form since arriving from AS monaco in the Summer.He scored in the reverse fixture back in september last year.And a lot will  depend on him tonight.

2.Wayne Rooney:Having found his form back,Wayne Rooney could be a very important player for Man Utd in this game.Liverpool defenders need to keep an eye on him.

3.Roberto Firmino:The Brazilian has scored three goals and one assist in games against Manchester City,Chelsea and Arsenal. Firmino has pace and trickery in his armory that helps in stretching the opponents defence, something he will do again on Sunday.
