If Manchester United beat Liverpool on January 17, they might have to send a thank-you letter to the god of hamstrings.
Jurgen Klopp is currently without six members of his squad due to the same injury, and the most important absentee - Philippe Coutinho - will miss the Anfield meeting after limping out of the Capital One Cup semi-final against Stoke.

United are without some important players themselves, with long-term absentee Luke Shaw the highest-profile absentee, but it's nothing compared to Liverpool's extensive injury list.
The visitors will have to fancy their chances now.
