What is the team news?
Liverpool are set to be without defender Ozan Kabak.
Boss Jurgen Klopp said before the Reds’ win over Southampton at the weekend: “With Ozan, we don’t know exactly, we have to wait and see a little bit. It’s a muscle thing, it happened without any real intensity but still serious enough for not being involved.”
Solskjaer will be assessing his United squad after their match against Leicester 48 hours before.
Captain Harry Maguire is set to miss out for United.
Maguire suffered an ankle injury in the 3-1 victory at Aston Villa at the weekend, and is a major doubt for the Europa League final vs Villarreal next week.

Let’s try this again, shall we?
Eleven days ago Manchester United fans protested the club’s Glazer owners following years of taking money out of the club and, more recently, the European Super League debacle.
Hundreds of supporters managed to rush the Old Trafford pitch and, with protesters also preventing the team from leaving its hotel, the game against Liverpool was called off.
At 8.15pm tonight, the rearranged derby kicks off – but a fresh protest is planned beforehand.
We’ll be keeping you to date with all the pre-game news, as well as the match itself, here.
