Liverpool host Man Utd today as 39 league titles, 20 FA Cups and nine European Cups meet in what remains the most historic game and spiciest rivalry in English football. This is the first meeting between the two teams since the Merseysiders' 7-0 shellacking of United last season — and you can watch from anywhere using a VPN.
The teams are in and Liverpool make one changes from the XI that started their previous Premier League game against Crystal Palace, as Ibrahim Konate replaces Jarrell Quansah at center-back. Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz start as a front three, with Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravernbach in midfield. Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones are on the bench.
For Manchester United, Marcus Rashford is on the bench as Erik ten Hag makes four changes. Kobi Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans come in for Bruno Fernandes (suspended), Anthony Martial, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Maguire (injured). That means Luke Shaw moves to left-back, with Mainoo completing a midfield three with Sofyan Amrabat and Scott McTominay, who captains the side.
The Liverpool vs Man Utd live stream takes place on Sunday, December 17.

Whisper it, but Liverpool appear to be back. Going into the weekend fixtures, the Reds topped the Premier League table for the first time in more than two years. Their controversial defeat at Tottenham in late September remains their only EPL defeat this season and they've take 20 points from the last 24 available. Mo Salah is in fine fettle after picking up his 200th goal for the club. Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister misses out with a knee injury.
After finishing bottom of their Champions League group, ten Hag and Man Utd badly need a win. If last weekend's 3-0 Old Trafford defeat to Bournemouth was bad, the limp European exit on Tuesday was worse – no fight, no attack. With captain Bruno Fernandes suspended and Harry Maguire an injury doubt, their chances don't look good. The Red Devils haven't won at Anfield since January 2016.
