Exactly seven days since playing out a drab goalless draw in the Premier League, these two English heavyweights will switch focus to the FA Cup, where they have each other to contend, once again. English Cup games really do not come any bigger than this!

While Manchester United seem to have struck a purple patch lately, Liverpool are floundering in the league. Struggling to hit their former high marks, Klopp’s men are winless in their previous five matches. You bet the Reds will be going all out for a win here to bring this embarrassing run to a halt.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Team News

In fantastic form this season, Manchester United are looking to defy all odds to clinch the Premier League title. Despite only being considered outsiders for league success, the Red Devils are pulling their weight to mount a serious title challenge.

So far, so good for Solskjaer’s men who are enjoying the view from the top of the standings, having amassed a whopping 40 points from 19 matches. For all their exploits in the PL, there are real concerns hovering around United’s chances in cup competitions.

Having already lost four semi-finals under their Norwegian gaffer, it is pretty obvious that the Red Devils do not have the mentality to challenge in knockout fixtures. They tend to buckle under pressure – one factor that could see them endure another failed FA Cup run this season.

In the previous round of this competition, United were made to dig really deep to see off Championship outfit Watford, coming out tops via an early McTominay header. Completely lethargic on the day, the Red Devils must be more reassuring to stand a good chance against Liverpool this weekend.

Enduring a difficult spell in the league, Liverpool have failed to register a single win in their last five outings. Since putting seven goals past Crystal Palace in mid-December, the goals have dried up for the Merseyside club.

Without any form of joy in front of goal, the Reds haven’t hit the target in each of their previous four games – a major worry for gaffer Klopp. Nonetheless, Liverpool will be looking to put these woes behind them, to focus on this huge FA Cup tie.

To reach this phase of the competition, they made light work of Aston Villa, posting an emphatic 4-1 win on the board. It is worth noting that Villa fielded their youth team in that game, handing Liverpool the upperhand. With United lurking around, the Reds will be hopeful of a win to arrest their recent slump.

Injured or Suspended Players

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

Manchester United vs Liverpool Predictions

Given the quality in Liverpool’s attacking ranks, you get the feeling that their goal drought won’t last much longer. But for them to hit the ground running again, their playmakers must begin to fashion out gilt-edged chances for the forwards.

While we expect Klopp to field a very strong lineup, Solskjaer might just opt to rest some of his key players – tipping the scales slightly in Liverpool’s favor. Still, considering recent form, we cannot quite see the Reds toppling United here.

A low-scoring game on the cards, we are backing Man United to carry the day, perhaps, fortuitously, to book a place in the FA Cup fifth round.
