Liverpool vs Manchester United Predictions & Match Preview 14/10/2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
0-0
Liverpool vs Manchester United Predictions and Match Preview for Saturday noon's Premier League round opener facing Liverpool and current joint-leaders Manchester United at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's side have exposed their shortcomings after failing to win in three of the last four league games (W1 D2 L1).
It's been more than four years since the Reds last won over their age-old rival from Manchester at Anfield (1-0, 1 September 2013). During that season at the heart of Brendan Rogers' team shone Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez. This trio would sweep away everyone and everything getting in their path, and from match to match led the team to more and more new triumphs.
Now the main characters of the Merseyside giants who are leading the line are Mohamed Salah (4 goals), Sadio Mane (3, currently injured) and Roberto Firmino (2).
Certainly, a Jose Mourinho side will face a more difficult game. Now that when the United injury list includes Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, Phil Jones, Michael Carrick and the returned Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Old Trafford, all the Portuguese manager has to do is to rely on second-choice players who should be eager to get some game time.
Manchester United: David de Gea - Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Ashley Young - Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera - Juan Mata, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marcus Rashford - Romelu Lukaku (4-2-3-1 formation)
Manchester United: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini are the ones who are making the injury list before the trip to Liverpool, but Michael Carrick and Phil Jones will be assessed come the matchday.

Conclusion and Match Preview:
Even despite having his superstar squad, Jose Mourinho is now faced with the fact of being forced to make changes to the starting line-up for the upcoming clash at Liverpool.
