Manchester United will be desperate to bounce back in the Premier League after being thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Erik ten Hag's side conceded six goals in the second period as they fell to a heavy defeat on Merseyside, with Liverpool managing the biggest victory in the history of the fixture. It was a disappointing afternoon for the Reds, especially after performing so well in recent months.
United will have the chance to get back to winning ways in the league at the weekend, and despite suffering a heavy defeat on Sunday, they remain the only side in England still in contention to win four trophies this season.

Following United's heavy defeat at Liverpool, MEN Sport has taken a close look at the Reds' next six league fixtures and compared them with those of the clubs they are currently competing with at the top end of the table.
Verdict: After losing heavily at Anfield on Sunday, it is vital that United respond with a victory. If there were going to choose a team to play in their next game, it would probably be Southampton, especially at Old Trafford. The other home matches against Brentford, Everton and Chelsea will all be tough, but Ten Hag's men will fancy their chances.
United's trip to Newcastle will certainly not be easy, and the same can be said for their visit to the City Ground. With the Reds unlikely to challenge Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the table between now and the end of the campaign, they should be focused on finishing third. In order to do that, they need to continue picking up points.
*All fixtures are subject to change.
