Premier League leaders looking to inflict more misery on arch rivals
Premier League leaders Liverpool will no doubt be licking their lips ahead of Sunday’s huge clash with Manchester United.
Arne Slot’s side put in another statement performance last time out, running out 5-0 winners against a hapless West Ham.
The Reds hold a significant lead in the title race, which is now feeling like little more than a march towards the crown.
Looking imperious as things stand, Slot’s side are heavy favourites on Sunday.
The Red Devils were lucky to lose only 2-0 to Newcastle on Monday and Ruben Amorim has admitted his side are facing the prospect of a relegation battle.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Liverpool vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 4.30pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday 5 January, 2025.
Anfield in Liverpool will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.

Liverpool lost Joe Gomez to an injury against West Ham, adding to their defensive problems. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley haven’t played since November and their return dates remain unclear.

Federico Chiesa continues to try and build up his fitness.
United will welcome back both Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte following their suspensions against Newcastle.
Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Victor Lindelof are not expected to feature.
United will surely show some sort of reaction to Monday’s defeat but even with that, it would be hard to see them getting from Anfield.
Liverpool to win, 3-0.
