3) Steven Gerrard vs Michael Carrick
The battle of the old timers! For Steven Gerrard – whose place in the starting XI is, or course, by no means guaranteed – this will, in all likelihood, be his final ever game against the old enemy, and he’ll be desperate to go out firing. He’ll be up against another experienced Englishman in Carrick, who has been one of the few consistent performers for Louis van Gaal so far this season. While Carrick’s eyes might be drawn to another Liverpool midfielder, like Philippe Coutinho, he’ll know only too well what our veteran captain is capable of, even now.
