Manchester United against Liverpool is always one of the big fixtures on the calendar and the game at Anfield will be marked by a special tribute to the legendary Bill Shankly.

The atmosphere at Anfield promises to be electric and the home side will need little motivation when the Red Devils roll into town, but they will have an even greater incentive with a pre-match tribute to the iconic manager who would have been 100 tomorrow.

Shankly took the club from the Second Division into the top-flight and won the First Division as it was then on three occasions, while also leading the Merseysiders to UEFA Cup victory in 1973 and two FA Cup victories.

He is credited for laying the foundations for the most successful period in Liverpool history and widely acclaimed to have been one of the greatest managers to ever grace the game.

A minute’s applause will proceed the kick-off at Anfield to honour his achievements.
