Liverpool are set to be without defender Ozan Kabak.

Solskjaer will be assessing his United squad after their match against Leicester 48 hours before.

Captain Harry Maguire is set to miss out for United.

Maguire suffered an ankle injury in the 3-1 victory at Aston Villa at the weekend, and is a major doubt for the Europa League final vs Villarreal next week.

  • SOLD A DUMMY

    It appears that Liverpool Football Club have pulled the wool over the eyes of those protesting supporters that were intent on holding them up.

    In tactics similar to those used by Jack Grealish at his court appearance last year, the Reds sent their official team bus towards Old Trafford as a decoy before sneaking into the ground via a back entrance.

    Will their players show similar initiative this evening?

  • REDS ARRIVE

    The Liverpool bus has arrived at Old Trafford, and Jurgen Klopp and his players have just made their way into the stadium.

  • UNITED THEY STAND

    With the snoozefest between Aston Villa and Everton having reached half-time, Sky Sports have turned their coverage to the developments outside of Old Trafford to show us that supporters have again gathered in BIG numbers in order to protest.

    Currently, there are no signs of any disturbances amid a large security presence, and the demonstrations are passionate but peaceful.

    Meanwhile, it is now being reported that the Liverpool players are now on their way to the stadium, where United’s players have been based for several hours.

  • BUS UPDATE

    A report from Manchester Evening News claims the Liverpool bus blocked by pedestrians and cars was NOT carrying any players.

    Manchester United Supporters Trust’s Ian Stirling outlined his hopes for tonight’s protests in conversation with Sky Sports.

  • REPEAT PERFORMANCE

    Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United fans will be hoping to, once again, make headlines with their protest tonight.

    The former Liverpool star credited the supporters earlier this month with making their anti-Glazer stance world news and expects the same again later on.

    He told Sky Sports earlier tonight: “They knew on the back of getting the game cancelled that the Glazers weren’t going to walk out the next day.

    “But they made it a story worldwide, everyone around the globe was talking about Manchester United getting the game called off. It was unprecedented.

    “The protesters in some way did their job.

    “Tonight we’re not 100 per cent sure what will go on but I’m sure they’ll be trying to do the same again and get that message out.”

  • POLICE ON THE SCENE

    Liverpool’s bus has been blocked in and reportedly even had the tyres let down.

  • PRE-MATCH ENTERTAINMENT

    Some, err, interesting scenes outside Old Trafford as fans begin to gather.

  • ‘ANGER’

    Gary Neville has underlined how the European Super League debacle has sparked the protests seen at Old Trafford and elsewhere.

    He told Sky Sports: “They distrust the ownership and don’t believe they will deliver on the promises that have been made.

    “What we have at the moment is a Man Utd fanbase which is wound up more than its ever been before. And you’ve got football fans all over the country who have been wound up in the last few weeks.

    “Because I think, what the Glazer family and other five owners demonstrated was that the danger to their own clubs isn’t just contained to their own clubs, that they’re actually willing to damage every fan in this country.

    “That has resurfaced the anger in the past few weeks.”

  • THREE HOURS TO KICK-OFF

    Is that the first Manchester United protester preparing to scale the walls and plant a flag in the name of his Red Devils devotion, live on television?!

    Alas no, it’s Jamie Carragher, filming a pre-game piece to camera.

    If only.

  • GOOD EVENING

    Let’s try this again, shall we?

    Eleven days ago Manchester United fans protested the club’s Glazer owners following years of taking money out of the club and, more recently, the European Super League debacle.

    Hundreds of supporters managed to rush the Old Trafford pitch and, with protesters also preventing the team from leaving its hotel, the game against Liverpool was called off.

    At 8.15pm tonight, the rearranged derby kicks off – but a fresh protest is planned beforehand.
