(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have breathed a sigh of relief following their chaotic midweek Champions League victory over Atalanta, but his job does not get any easier as they host an in-form Liverpool in the Premier League.

Sunday's derby is the first of what could be a defining set of fixtures for United and Solskjaer with a resurgent Tottenham Hotspur and champions Manchester City on the horizon.

Much of the criticism has been directed at United's forwards, who critics say do not press opponents as much as other top sides and Solskjaer will be able to observe first hand how Juergen Klopp has set up his team to win the ball back and create chances. Thomas Tuchel's side, which has the joint-best defensive record in the top flight, host winless Norwich City, who have scored only twice this season.
