With Fernandes, Pogba, Martial and Rashford in the team, Manchester United have some of the best players in the world. Whilst Liverpool are reigning champions and have kept the majority of their star players, Manchester United are right there behind them.

Since losing to Arsenal in November, United have taken 26 points from a possible 31. And that trip to Anfield to play Liverpool on Jan. 17 is looking more and more critical. It has been a long time since United were involved in such a crucial game at the top of the table.
