Super Sunday sees a blockbuster clash as two arch enemies collide at Old Trafford when Manchester United take on title chasing Liverpool.
Victory for the Reds will see them leapfrog Manchester City back to top, with the Citizens having played their match earlier this month.
United meanwhile can strengthen their grip on fourth with three points, regardless of what Arsenal do against Southampton.

Prediction
Man Utd were absolutely fantastic all over the pitch on Monday against Chelsea but Liverpool are a whole class higher.
The Reds will be well prepared after holding a in-form Bayern Munich in midweek and I fancy them to go and do same here, but be more entertaining.
Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool
Jake predicts: Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
Result: Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool
