Manchester United stars Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have already been to their team's hotel before Sunday's shock.
The Red Devils wish to continue their invincible defeat under Solskjaer in national competitions, but face their most difficult task so far against the Reds, second.
United spends the night at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester, as before all matches at Old Trafford.
David De Gea, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez were all among the players who seemed focused on their arrival.
Jesse Lingard, who is expected to return to United after his injury, has also been spotted. A boost for Solskjaer.
A win for Liverpool would put them ahead of the Premier League on Sunday, but a defeat could derail their title hopes.
But Juan Mata insists that letting Liverpool hinder his hopes of getting a first crown since 1990 is not United's main motivation, which seeks to seal a "very special".
A few hours before the final of the Carabao Cup in the capital, Old Trafford may be the scene of an even more anticipated clash Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool won 3-1 at the meeting between these old opponents in December – a result that put an end to Jose Mourinho's tumultuous reign and set United on the road to an exciting new chapter.
Players in the form of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were fourth and Mata said his goal was to strengthen that position rather than trying to outsmart the hard-to-win Reds at this crucial point of the season.
"We see things differently, that is, we try to stay in those top four places," said the Spaniard.
"We arrived after a very good run in the last few months and, honestly, it seemed quite difficult to do, if you asked me two months ago.
"But we are here now, and we want to keep this position by winning, obviously we have to play against Liverpool and Manchester City, both are fighting for the title with Tottenham, let's see what happens."
"But obviously, what we want is to win every game and especially against the big teams."
Confirmed team members:
David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Lee Grant, Diogo Dalot, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young, Fred, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera, Andreas Pereira, Juan Mata and Alexis Manga , Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Romelu Lukaku
