The stage is set for the big one at Anfield as Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool ammunition face the Red Devils at home. It promises to be a grand finale as both EPL heavy weights (Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC) lights up the pitch in the Premier League this weekend.
This will be a big test for Liverpool’s title push (run) even as they look to have already closed in on the Premier League in the season.
This is due to match inconsistency from League followers Leicester City and Manchester City.
However, as the much anticipated fixture comes up at the weekend we take a look at three massive things to expect ahead of the showdown at Anfield.
Liverpool Resolve To The Test
The Reds would have another test to prove a point along in the title race even as they are on an unbeaten run in the season.
The Reds would be motivated at home as they set their eye on the League crown at the end of the season in May (2020).
While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be fired up with a couple of positives ahead of the game with Jürgen Klopp even going one more better for his Liverpool side when they picked up a 1-1 draw against the Red Devils in the reverse fixture.
They followed it up with a pair of goals at the dying moment to beat Aston Villa 1-2 at Villa Park towards the end of last year. This is what Liverpool have got to prove as United test their earlier come Sunday at Anfield.
Frenetic Anfield Atmosphere
Manchester United might have recorded some win away at Anfield in recent times. However, the tactical stability Liverpool have been enrolled with under the watch of German Manager Jürgen Klopp is too firm to unsettled as it’s proven with the Reds place at the top of the standings.
The Red Devils have got their work cut out even as the frenetic Anfield arena provides hostility to prevent United in finding their playing rhythm away from home. This will be enticing even as United travel with some form of optimism to Anfield on Sunday.
Rashford Concern For United
As the match makes the round in the English top flight certain things would be ascertained ahead of the crunch tie.
Jürgen Klopp and his side may have been handed a big boost following the return of Liverpool duo of Joel Matip and Fabinho. Both players came through a training session with the first team unscathed ahead of the crucial Premier League encounter against Manchester United at the weekend.
However, Rashford availability proves the uncertainty that lowers United chances in the game as they take trip to Anfield. The Red Devils would hope for the possible best as the player would offer United a chance in the tie.
