Anthony Taylor has been appointed as the referee for the upcoming clash between Manchester United and Liverpool, a fixture that carries significant weight in the Premier League.

With both teams vying for the top spot in the league table and aiming for a strong finish in the race for a Champions League spot, the match promises to be an intense and pivotal encounter at Old Trafford.

Liverpool currently sit at the summit of the Premier League following their recent victory over Brighton.

In contrast, Manchester City and Arsenal, their closest competitors, settled for a draw at the Etihad Stadium, providing the Reds with an opportunity to extend their lead.

However, Manchester United’s aspirations took a hit after a draw against Brentford, adding further intrigue to their upcoming battle with Chelsea before facing Liverpool.

The previous meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United this season ended in a goalless stalemate at Anfield.

However, their FA Cup clash at Old Trafford last month provided plenty of drama, with a thrilling seven-goal spectacle unfolding between the two sides.

With incidents of red cards in both encounters, Anthony Taylor’s role as the referee could prove decisive in shaping the outcome of the upcoming fixture.
