It’s the big one.
Liverpool and Man United meet in European competition for the first time ever on Thursday evening for their UEFA Europa League clash, and the teams are in.
The good news for the home side is that Daniel Sturridge returns to Liverpool’s starting line-up, and Nathaniel Clyne replaces Jon Flanagan, who is not registered to play in the competition.
Man United are without the suspended Jesse Lingard, but draft in the imposing presence of Marouane Fellaini to midfield, whilst Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial start upfront.
These are the two sides in full for what promises to be a lively encounter.
