Alisson gets the nod in goal while Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes walk into our combined Liverpool and Manchester United XI... but who makes the cut between Alexander Trent-Arnold and Aaron Wan-Bissaka and is there space for Paul Pogba?

Liverpool and Man United will lock horns on Sunday in an epic title showdown
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have moved above Liverpool at the top of the league
Liverpool trail them by three points ahead of the pivotol clash at Anfield
Sportsmail has the unenviable task of creating a combined XI from both sides
Manchester United did on Tuesday night what none of us would have expected just a few months ago - move top of the Premier League table in January.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has overseen a dramatic revival of the club's fortunes as a stunning run of form in this unpredictable season continued with a 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.

It came at the perfect time too, as it means United travel to Anfield three points ahead of their bitter rivals - setting up a mouth-watering title contest between two Premier League giants with a very feisty history.

Jurgen Klopp's men have endured a somewhat up and down campaign so far, with his side failing to win their last three games. The players will need no extra motivation for this match, however, and have the perfect chance to make a statement by getting one over their old enemies.

Here, Sportsmail picks out a combined XI from both sides out of the players available for this epic showdown at Anfield.

HAHHAHA
