It is a Manchester United and Liverpool double header today, beginning with this intriguing game at Leigh Sports Village.
United have won their previous four matches in all competitions, including a League Cup triumph over Liverpool, so are in confident mood. Marc Skinner will be eager to put distance between his side and Liverpool, who sit one place and three points behind them and on home turf is a sensible place to do it.
A win for Liverpool would indicate they progress they have made. They last trip the had to a potential title challenger say them dismantled 5-1 by Chelsea, making today a good one to indicate their credentials.
