Watch Liverpool vs Man Utd live on Sky Sports from 3.30pm on Sunday
Liverpool host Manchester United on Sunday looking to maintain their unbeaten record in the Premier League this season, in what promises to be another fiercely-competitive fixture.
Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp both have injury concerns heading into the match at Anfield, but the 16 points that separate the two sides means the hosts are strong favourites to continue their brilliant domestic form.
Ahead of the game, which is live on Renault Super Sunday, the Soccer Saturday panel have given their predictions on how they see the game being won and lost.
Charlie Nicholas
These games in the past I would always back Mourinho but, for the life of me, I honestly don't have a clue what he's going to do here. He went with quite an attacking team against Man City and they got battered.
Pogba will not play and the only way I can see this developing into a positive for Mourinho is to park the bus and try and stay in the game and snatch something later on. The key for United is De Gea and Rashford and if they're at their best they may have a chance.
We do a lot of combined XIs and the biggest thing you can say about it is that I had two days to think about it and I couldn't get any Man Utd players into the Liverpool team. De Gea was the only one close but Alisson's been great so far, so even he'd miss out right now.
But I can't honestly see anything other than a Liverpool win. The way United have been playing the only way they could stop Liverpool would be to park the bus and get a 0-0 but I can't see that happening.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: Liverpool 3-1 Man Utd - Milner and Mane to score.

I don't think Jose Mourinho will park the full double decker, it'll just be the single decker this time as he'll have them organised and well-drilled to make sure they stay in the game. He'll have his workers in the team like Lingard and Rashford who understand the running they have to do.
