Manchester United will be looking to give their top-four hopes another boost when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool in Tuesday's heavyweight Premier League battle.

The Red Devils had to rely on the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo to get them over the line against Norwich City at the weekend, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner netting a hat-trick in a 3-2 success.

Ralf Rangnick's men took advantage of Arsenal's recent woes to leapfrog the Gunners into fifth in the Premier League table - three points behind Tottenham Hotspur after the Lilywhites also lost at the weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Liverpool, who advanced to the FA Cup final on Saturday.
