Liverpool have brought in Lucas Leiva for Jordon Ibe for this afternoon's visit of Manchester United.

The change is just one from manager Jurgen Klopp from the side that rescued a point in the visit of Arsenal on Wednesday, with two-goal hero Roberto Firmino continuing to adopt the role of a false nine.

Striker Christian Benteke is forced to start the game on the bench for the second league outing in a row.

Meanwhile, Louis van Gaal stands by the side that were forced to accept a point at Newcastle United in midweek, with the only change coming on the bench as Guillermo Varela replaces James Weir.

Despite speculation, Adnan Januzaj - recently recalled from his loan at Borussia Dortmund - plays no part in the matchday squad, while Juan Mata starts as a sub.

The fixture has come too soon for the injured Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phil Jones, who fail to make the trip to Anfield.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Henderson, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino
Subs: Ward, Caulker, Smith, Allen, Teixeira, Ibe, Benteke

Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Blind, Darmian, Schneiderlin, Fellaini, Lingard, Herrera, Martial, Rooney
Subs: Romero, Borthwick-Jackson, McNair, Varela, Pereira, Mata, Memphis
