Man Utd v Liverpool team news

Man Utd: Long-term absentees Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are only joined by Brandon Williams on the injury list.

Otherwise, United have a clean bill of health and some big decisions to make in terms of their priorities. Will Solskjaer rotate his squad to keep them fresh for a midweek round of Premier League fixtures or will he go full-strength in a bid to progress in the cup?

Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota and Naby Keita remain out. Jordan Henderson is a fitness doubt after missing the midweek game against Burnley.

Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were rested for most of the midweek clash and are likely to start here.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Liverpool

We think both teams could line up with strong XIs, perhaps barring one or two rotated faces.

Cavani was the difference-maker against Fulham and will heap pressure on the Liverpool backline, though Joel Matip's return from injury is a considerable boost.

A resurgent Paul Pogba, sparkling Bruno Fernandes and rested Marcus Rashford could give the hosts an edge as Liverpool struggle to find their killer touch.

Our prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Liverpool (9/1 at bet365)
