The game we have all been waiting for is finally here, and the rave amongst fans and the media alike has been massive. With pundits talking up this match so much, you can feel the thrill. Definitely, we won’t see many bigger Premier League fixtures than this throughout the season.

With Manchester United leading the way on the standings, Liverpool are lying just below them, adrift by three points. This situation of things makes this derby even more exciting as it could play a huge role in determining the course of the title race.

Despite being injury-ridden, especially on the defensive front, Liverpool are still pulling in their weight to attempt defending the league title. But it goes without saying that they will have their work cut-out to pull off this feat.

Impressively, with 17 games already played, Klopp’s charges find themselves at the business end of the standings. Given the problems Liverpool have battled so far, they deserve some props and praise for weathering through the storm.

However, the fight is far from over as there is still lots of football left to play. Following a recent dip-in-form that has seen the Reds remain winless in each of their last three games on the bounce, they have lost some ground in the title race.

Interestingly, Manchester United’s upturn in form coincided with Liverpool’s rough patch, helping propel Solskjaer’s men to first-place. Now, the Reds must topple United in this upcoming contest if they are to return to the summit.

Last time out, Liverpool put in another lethargic display and were duly punished by Southampton via a second-minute Danny Ings goal to pile on the Reds’ miseries. Man United, on the other hand, are in the form of their lives, and stringing results on the trot.

Unbeaten in their previous ten matches, confidence is certainly growing in United’s camp, and you can sense that from the way they are playing. Also, they are on a three-game winning run at the moment, and will fancy their chances of stretching that streak this weekend.

In a game marred by questionable officiating, the Red Devils were made to bend over backwards to secure a 1-0 win over Burnley last time out. Pogba’s late strike sent them top of the table. Now, they must avoid defeat versus Liverpool to hold onto that spot after this latest round of PL fixtures.

Injured or Suspended Players

Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Diogo Jota and Naby Keita.
Manchester United: Marcos Rojo and Facundo Pellistri.

Liverpool vs Man United Predictions

On paper, Liverpool are slight favorites for the win. But in big games of this nature, manager’s game-plan often fly out the window as pressure mounts on the players. The winner often comes down to who wants it more, who’s got the passion and who’s got the drive!

United are known to develop cold feet when taking on fellow heavyweights – failing to win any of their clashes against the league’s top-six so far. Also, we cannot trust Liverpool to bring United’s long-standing unbeaten run to a halt. We feel this will be a cagey game with no less than two goals on the sheet. (Under 2.5)
