Preview
One of English football's oldest and most heated rivalries is set to unfold this weekend as Manchester United prepares to visit Liverpool in a highly-anticipated showdown at Anfield. This 11:30 a.m. ET clash will feature a struggling Red Devils side facing off against the current Premier League leaders.
It is worth noting that both Liverpool and Manchester United enter this fixture on the back of defeats. However, the defeat for the Merseyside giants in their final UEFA Europa League group-stage tie was ultimately inconsequential, as they advanced to the round of 16 as group winners nonetheless.
Klopp's men suffered two losses in the group-stage campaign, but these setbacks were less concerning, given the German boss's heavy rotation in Europe's second-tier club competition. In the English top flight, Salah and Co. have lost only once, in a controversial 2-1 defeat away to Tottenham.
However, the Reds have drawn three times, leaving them just one point ahead of second-placed Arsenal. Liverpool has won three consecutive league outings, including two dramatic late comeback victories, allowing them to surpass the Gunners, who lost 1-0 away to Aston Villa last weekend.
Moreover, with Manchester City held to a 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday, Liverpool has the opportunity to extend their lead to six points over what many perceive as their biggest rivals for the Premier League title. Achieving this goal, however, hinges on defeating Manchester United in this upcoming clash.
Given that the venue for this game is Anfield, it will evoke fond memories for Liverpool fans and nightmares for Manchester United. The Red Devils visited this iconic ground earlier this year and suffered their worst-ever defeat in this fixture.
This encounter in early March occurred when Ten Hag's men were vying for a top-four spot and hoping to enter the title race alongside Manchester City and Arsenal. Unfortunately for the visitors, they endured an unforgettable 7-0 defeat, with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo all scoring braces, while Roberto Firmino netted the seventh and final goal.
For many fans, that match marked the beginning of the end for their Dutch manager, as such a humiliating defeat against their biggest rivals was deemed intolerable. However, the 53-year-old has held onto his position, and the team's fortunes have only worsened since then.
As mentioned earlier, Manchester United enters this game on the heels of a meaningful defeat, a 1-0 loss at home to Bayern Munich in their final group-stage game of the UEFA Champions League. Unlike Liverpool, this result led to a group-stage exit, with the Red Devils finishing at the bottom of their group behind Bayern Munich, Copenhagen, and Galatasaray.
This means Manchester United did not even secure a spot in the UEFA Europa League, though not every fan was keen to see this happen. Talks of a managerial change have circulated since then, but Ten Hag remains in charge and will oversee this critical game.
Another humiliating defeat could prompt the Old Trafford board to make a managerial change, and with key players set to miss this tie, many fear the worst for the 20-time English champions. Don't miss this showdown.
Team news
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold were all left out of the UEFA Europa League game but should return to the lineup rested and energized. However, Diogo Jota and Alexis Mac Allister will be unavailable for this tie while Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, Andrew Robertson, and Thiago Alcantara are unavailable until next year.
Manchester United: Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw both picked up injuries in the defeat to Bayern but the latter is in contention to feature. Unfortunately, Maguire joins Anthony Martial, Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, and Tyrell Malacia on the treatment table. Furthermore, Bruno Fernandes is suspended for this game while Victor Lindelof is a doubt.
