Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool team will be hoping to delight their travelling supporters with a victory in their enemies’ own back yard, and this is the side he’s picked to get the job done, per the Reds’ Twitter feed:

Both teams will be keen to bounce back after disappointing losses before the international break. Liverpool were embarrassingly beaten 3-0 at Anfield by West Ham United last time out, while United surrendered a one-goal lead to lose 2-1 at Swansea City.
