Saturday lunchtime sees two Premier League heavyweights come to blows in a huge match at Anfield.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes his side can go toe-to-toe with the pacesetters, but Manchester United will be hopeful of moving clear of their rivals.

Here, Sportsmail's Martin Keown gives his combined XI ahead of the biggest game of the weekend... and his picks favours one side considerably!

Jose Mourinho has nine of his players included in Martin Keown's combined XI ahead of the tie

My combined team may be Manchester United heavy, but I cannot pick a single member of Liverpool's back five.

Only West Ham and Crystal Palace have conceded more times in the Premier League than Liverpool this season.

Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip looked pedestrian in their last match when Newcastle played a ball over the top.

When Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford are off and running there is no catching them and they have to be in this team.

Romelu Lukaku is up top, while Mohamed Salah is one of just two Liverpool stars in the team

I can see Jose trying to shut the game down as he did at Anfield last season but the big difference now is is that, with Lukaku up front rather than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, United have more pace to hurt Liverpool on the break.

I like left back Andrew Robertson but he has not played for Liverpool since mid-September. On current form I have to pick Ashley Young.

In midfield, only David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City have created more chances than Henrikh Mkhitaryan. I have only chosen players who are fit for Saturday, so the injured Paul Pogba and Sadio Mane miss out.
