Where to watch Man United vs. Liverpool live stream, TV channel, start time for Premier League match

Manchester United host fierce rivals Liverpool on Sunday in a match that could have huge importance in the race for the Champions League places.

United's 2-1 win over Brentford on Sunday means they need just two more points from their remaining four games to guarantee a top-five Premier League finish and a return to Europe's top competition.

Liverpool are in a strong position themselves and could overtake United in the standings if they can claim a win by a margin of more than a single goal, but a draw would also represent a good result for both sides as they seek to secure a positive end to disappointing seasons overall.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
