Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in a massive derby in the Premier League on Saturday, and Jurgen Klopp is expected to make five changes from the side that drew with Porto in midweek.

The Reds had essentially secured their Champions League progress with a 5-0 win in the first leg in Portugal, and Klopp fielded a slightly weakened team as they drew 0-0 at Anfield.

With a place in the Champions League quarter-finals secured, attention now turns back to the Premier League and a match against the club’s biggest rivals.

Liverpool and Manchester United are currently separated by just two points in the table, with the Reds sitting just behind their rivals in third.

A win would therefore take them above the Red Devils and into second, behind shoe-in champions Manchester City.

However, a loss would be rather devastating for Liverpool, who could then find themselves dropping below Tottenham if the Lilywhites beat Bournemouth on Sunday.

The race for the top-four is so tight that every point will count between now and the end of the season, and this will no doubt be a crucial encounter come the end of the season.

This is Futbol have selected Liverpool’s expected XI v United, including five changes from the side that beat Porto.
