Matchday 23 in the English Premier League is one of the most anticipated of the entire 2019-20 season, with Liverpool facing Manchester United one more time. Solskjaer's men were the only team to snatch a point away from the current league leaders, which will make the Reds eager to claim a win in front of their supporters and increase their lead at the top.
All the action will kick off with Tottenham's visit to Watford, where Mourinho may grant his new signing, Gedson Fernandes, his first minutes in the Premier League. Elsewhere, Manchester City will try to defend their second place when they host Crystal Palace, and Chelsea will seal all the activity on Saturday evening when they visit St. James' Park to face Newcastle.
There will be a couple of games on Sunday, starting with Leicester's visit to Burnley. Liverpool's clash against Solskjaer's men will put an end to the weekend, where all teams will have to lick their wounds while awaiting for the next battle.
Without further ado, here's what you need to keep an eye on for Matchday 23 in the English Premier League.

Coach's quotes ahead of Matchday 23
Jurgen Klopp left no stone unturned when asked about a new change in the African Cup of Nations, which will be brought back to January. Klopp's seven-minute answer reveals how angry the German coach is for having to lose Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita for up to ten games.
"The Africa Cup of Nations going back to January is, for us, a catastrophe. On top of that we have absolutely no power, so if we say 'we won't let him go', the player is suspended. How is it possible that the company who pays the player cannot decided that the player has to stay or not? Nowadays it shouldn't be like this. But I speak here about it and no-one will listen," Klopp stated.
