Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher bring you the team news from the huge match taking place at Anfield.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is not to fit to face Liverpool after failing to recover from the back injury he sustained in his side's 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay win over Wolves last Wednesday.
