The Guide
Jurgen Klopp is going in search of another trophy to add to his cabinet in his final season with the Merseyside club after already securing the Carabao Cup. Klopp and co are also going in search of a historic quadruple as they remain in the hunt for the Premier League and Europa League.
Erik ten Hag meanwhile is in desperate need of silverware to restore an otherwise sub-par season as the Red Devils remain some distance off qualifying for a Champions League spot. The Dutchman has some good news, as Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all set to be available for selection.
Liverpool should be able to select Mo Salah from the start, if required, but Ibrahima Konate is a doubt. On United, Klopp told reporters, “I don’t know much about their season but I saw some really good games.”
“[Having key players fit again] obviously makes a difference as well, we will see on Sunday. It was always a tough place to go for us, it means everything to both fan groups, we know that.”
Both teams are among some of the most successful clubs throughout the FA Cup’s history. United have won the competition 12 times whereas Liverpool have lifted the trophy on eight separate occasions.
What time will kick off take place?
Kick off will take place at 3:30pm at Old Trafford on Sunday 17 March.
This is after an agreement between the broadcasters and Manchester Police, who wanted an earlier kick off time in the interest of fan safety.
“Some games are bigger than others,” said Erik Ten Hag. “Man United Liverpool is definitely big, especially when it’s the quarter-final of the FA Cup. We’re looking forward. It’s a special game, absolutely.”
Man United vs Liverpool How can I watch the match live?
