Manchester United's playing 11 will be much taller than Liverpool's

Manchester United have the second-tallest squad, making the average height of the players to 6ft 1in. They are second only to Tony Pulis' West Brom side. United's three significant summer signings are all easily over 6 foot tall .

When the Portuguese took charge in 2016, United was 7th tallest in the league.

The conscious transformation in height is paying the dividend for the Red Devils as they have scored six set-piece goals in the seven Premier League games so far. In the last season, United could manage only seven in 38 Premier League games. They are number one in the set-piece conversion record so far this season.

United must deploy the same strategy against the Reds at Anfield. The home side has one of the worst defensive records in conceding from set-pieces. They have conceded three goals from the set-piece positions and United must make use of the opponent's vulnerability.
