Premier League leaders Liverpool head to Manchester United looking to move a step closer to equalling their bitter rivals' record of 20 English titles. In a gripping title race, Arsenal and Manchester City will hope for a Liverpool stumble, while the top four battle and relegation survival fight are also heating up. AFP Sport looks at three talking points ahead of this weekend's action:

No 'revenge' mission for Liverpool

With memories of their painful FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Manchester United still fresh for Alex Mac Allister and his Liverpool team-mates, it would have been no surprise if the Argentine midfielder had branded their return to Old Trafford as a revenge mission.

Jurgen Klopp's side twice blew the lead in a 4-3 defeat that was clinched by Amad Diallo in the final seconds of extra-time.

The end of Liverpool's quadruple bid stung the Merseysiders but they can make amends by defeating Erik ten Hag's men as they bid to move level with United's record 20 top-flight titles.
