    Both these teams got walloped 4-0 last time out. How many changes? Is Dominic Calvert-Lewin back after injury? Team news is about to drop.

    Thought spring was supposed to be around the corner? It's is absolutely freezing in Nottingham with the need to dig out hat and scarves as opposed to remembering where you tucked away the shorts and T-shirts back in September.

    And for these two sides, a glance at the Premier League table will send shivers down their bones.

    Nottingham Forest, on their return to the top-flight after a two decade absence, are just four points above the drop zone.

    Everton are bang in trouble in 18th place, but a seismic victory today will drag them out of the mire and just one point behind their opponents.

    After the final whistle at Anfield, you can call 606 where Robbie Savage and Chris Sutton will be waiting to listen to your views.

    Nottingham Forest v Everton (14:00 GMT)

    It's incredibly tight in the bottom half of the table. Six points separate bottom club Bournemouth from Crystal Palace in 12th.

    Everton start today's match in the relegation zone but will leapfrog both Leeds and West Ham with a first Premier League away win since 1 October.

    Forest will establish a seven-point safety cushion with a win.

    Three weeks today the clocks spring forward and these 16:30 kick-offs will be ending in daylight. Will Liverpool be in the top four by then?

    The Reds will climb above Newcastle into fifth if they beat Manchester United. However, Erik ten Hag's team will move to within six points of second place - with a game in hand - if they win at Anfield for the first time in seven years.

    'Like entering a fishing contest without rod'published at 12:40 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    MJF_dodo: Everton are going into games without a striker and where our only strategy is hoping defenders score from set pieces, while keeping a clean sheet, which we can’t do lately. It’s like entering a fishing competition without a rod and bait. We have a director of football who has overseen this shambles. Shocking.

  8. Why this is much bigger for Liverpoolpublished at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    Fourth place is everything to Liverpool now, which is why today's game at Anfield is much bigger for them than it is for Manchester United.

    United are in a great position going into it, and not just because they are in terrific form. They have cemented themselves in the top three, have already lifted one trophy and more silverware could follow this season.

    They can afford a bad game, or even a bad result, this weekend without it derailing their entire campaign. Unfortunately for Liverpool, their situation is completely different.

    Jurgen Klopp's side are already playing catch-up in the Premier League after some disappointing results and their heavy defeat by Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie means that finishing fourth is, realistically, the only target they have left.

  9. A different picturepublished at 12:28 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2023

    The last time Manchester United visited Anfield, Liverpool put four past their rivals in an embarrassingly one-sided affair to go top of the Premier League. Meanwhile, United were struggling to make top-six.

    Eleven months on, the picture is very different.

    United return to Anfield with a spring in their step after winning a first trophy in six years and are in the race at the top of the table.

    In contrast, Liverpool are out of title contention and struggling to make the top-four.

    Anfield awaits.
