Considering recent results, a trip to Anfield is probably the very last thing Ruben Amorim and his Manchester United side want to face this weekend.
Whether they like it or not, that's the fixture that awaits them at 4:30pm this afternoon.
Arne Slot's Liverpool will be keen to continue their stellar home form that has seen them perched atop the league table at the halfway point of the season.
United fans will be hoping that some of the uncertainty around Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold's futures in the north-west can begin to have a psychological effect on a team that is currently showing no weakness.
For Amorim, three embarrassing losses on the bounce have raised questions as to whether or not his team is going to end up in a relegation battle towards the end of the season.
Can the former Sporting Lisbon boss inspire a smash and grab performance like he did at Manchester City last month? Or will it be damage limitation against a side that put five past West Ham United last Sunday?
Heavy snow in the north of the country threatens a postponement of the much-anticipated match. Keep an eye on our live hub for updates ahead of kick-off.
