Marcus Rashford has received about as much sympathy as you would expect from Liverpool fans following his reported tummy trouble.
Manchester United return to the scene of last season's 7-0 destruction by their greatest rivals when the sides meet on Sunday. United actually went on to finish above Liverpool in the league table, but that looks highly unlikely this season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side go into the game 10 points clear of Erik ten Hag’s strugglers. Both sides have injury and illness issues ahead of the Anfield showdown, which Liverpool are hot favourites to win.

A third joked: “They’re all s******* themselves tbf.” Another waded in: “I’d do everything possible to avoid disaster as well.” A fifth declared: “’Dumped’ out of Europe.”
Rashford is expected to be available for the game after joining in with training since the defeat to Bayern, although given his recent form, he may have to settle for a place on the bench.
