Manchester United and Liverpool have both made significant alterations to their starting XIs today.

Louis van Gaal has recalled Wayne Rooney, who’ll play off Anthony Martial, but has dropped Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ander Herrera for United’s game away to Southampton.

Marcos Rojo replaces the injured Luke Shaw, as expected, with Daley Blind moving from centre-half to left back.man utd xi

Meanwhile, for Liverpool’s game at home to Norwich City, Daniel Sturridge makes his first start of the season, while Dejan Lovren is dropped for Mamadou Sakho and Alberto Moreno replaces Joe Gomez.lfc xi
