The equivalent fixture was postponed on 2 May due to the unrest from disgruntled Manchester United fans who broke into the stadium in protest at the Glazer family’s ownership. When it was finally staged 11 days later Liverpool won 4-2 and another loss for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side on Sunday would leave them seven points behind their rivals and surely out of the title race before the clocks go back for winter.
United are sixth in the table going into Sunday's action with four wins, two draws and two defeats from eight games.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side only have one point from their last three games and, if they are to challenge for the title, they must find some form quickly.
In four of the past seven seasons, the title winners have only lost two or three league games all season.
Last season, Manchester City won the title with 86 points, the lowest title-winning haul since Leicester in 2016. To even reach that amount, United need to average 2.4 points a game for the rest of the season.
Liverpool, in third place, are unbeaten - but their gap over United would only be a point if the Red Devils win.
