Back in early November I couldn't wait for this fixture to come around, we we're playing some fantastic football, banging in goals and steamrolling teams with our flair and movement.
However, our rhythm and shape has been disjointed these last few games with the loss of Coutinho and more recently Henderson and Mane.
Three players who have been the key to the way we attack the opposition and who have played a major part in why we sit second in the league.
Playing Man U away is never a good game for the Arrhythmia or the blood pressure but so long as the lads stay strong and fight for every ball I'll be happy.
For me, as proven this season Coutinho and Firmino play really well together so those two must start and it's a real shame we don't have Mane to run with them.
Lallana needs to up his game Sunday and stop trying those bloody Cruyff turns into no mans land and get himself in the box where he is more dangerous..
Play Stewart instead of Can.
I'd be more comfortable with Matip shadowing Ibrahimovic than Lovren if i'm honest, just hope it happens..
Mignolet needs to start for me in this one.
Milner and Clyne
will get the space down the wings during the game I just hope their runs and deliveries are as good as they were six weeks ago and there are bodies in the box when the ball comes over.
The majority of our wins at OT have been quick break outs and killing them with the speed of our attack then staying strong.
My earlier post of parking the bus in truth just won't work against this lot in the form they're in now, players like Pogba, Fellani, Mata, Rooney, Carrick need to be closed down in packs like we've seen from start to finish and we need to be clinical in front of goal.
We've witnessed some magical games at OT down the years and there's absolutely no reason why we won't witness another on Sunday.
I'd love us to wipe that smug tw*t of a smile off Maureens face !
