The first action of the FA Cup Third round is a matter of minutes away.
The tie of the round sees Liverpool host Merseyside rivals Everton at Anfield. The major team news from this game is that – as expected – Jürgen Klopp has handed a debut to Virgil Van Dijk after the Dutch defender completed his move from Southampton.

The other action sees United host Derby County at Old Trafford.
Although Jose Mourinho has named a strong side to face the Championship side, David De Gea drops out of the team, replaced by Sergio Romero. There’s also no place in the squad for Nemanja Matic although Marouane Fellaini returns on the bench.
