Liverpool will look to move one step closer to the Premier League title as they host Manchester United at Anfield in the weekend’s glamour tie.
Jürgen Klopp’s side are unbeaten in the Premier League over a year after suffering a 2-1 defeat to arch rivals, Manchester City last January, but the visitors have shown there are good enough to cause an upset this term and have got the chance to end Liverpool unbeaten run unlike Tottenham Hotspur that lost 0-1 at Wembley to the Reds.
Fabinho returned to the side following a two-months lay off via an ankle problem. It will be unlike Klopp to rush the midfielder back for such a big match especially as Liverpool has done well in his instead.
Skipper Jordan Henderson is expected to retain his players at the lower part of the midfielder with Georginio Wijnaldum starting alongside him among the midfield three.
On the other hand, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana (first leg goal scorer) are competing for a place in midfield.
Since the start of the 2016/2017 season, Liverpool have won the highest number of fouls against Manchester United at Anfield, with the second most number of tackles coming against the same opponents at Old Trafford, Manchester United.
Trent Alexander Arnold is a supreme attacking force and is been really unplayable this term.
Should Rashford miss the match? It will be much relief to Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool as the 21 year old would not meet up with a player (Rashford) he identifies as his toughest opponent.
For obvious reasons center back and influenced player Virgil Van Dijk would be in action alongside Joe Gomez and this would be another match evaluation from this master class pairings.
At left Andy Robertson more as his antics of winding up (physical challenges) of his opponents is expected to be seen via the Red Devils match.
The usual front three for Liverpool as Mo Salah, the Egyptian king was electric against Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur while Roberto Firmino may prove too good for United with a goal from the start.
Sadio Mane would play front the left while also asserting his reputation for the PFA player of the year award with another classy display for his credentials.
