Manchester United will be aiming to avoid a fifth straight defeat in all competitions when they head to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils have lost each of their last three in England's top flight against Bournemouth, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United without scoring, and they currently sit down in 14th spot in the Premier League table.

Ruben Amorim's side are only seven points off the relegation zone, and they will be heading to a Liverpool side that are six points clear of second-placed Arsenal at the top of the table with a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Liverpool, as the two most successful clubs in English football prepare to lock horns once again.
