Liverpool FC face Manchester United in a battle of Premiership heavyweights at Anfield, with the European champions seeking their 50th League victory over the Red Devils. The high noon Sunday showdown brings together two of the five remaining clubs with unbeaten Premiership records going into this weekend's fixtures.

The Merseysiders have a watertight defence in the League with clean sheets in all three games to date. However those matches against Middlesbrough (a), Sunderland (h) and Spurs (a) have produced a total of just one goal, yet the Reds boast the two highest scoring Premiership players in the country. Steven Gerrard's seven goals and Djibril Cisse's six have all come from European competitions. After six qualifiers, Rafael Benitez' side began their defence of the Champions League in earnest on Tuesday night by holding on to a creditable 1-2 win at Real Betis in their first group match.
