Premier League – Liverpool vs Man Utd: Preview

Two giants of the English game meet at Anfield in a game where three points are essential for both sides’ ultimate ambitions.

Jurgen Klopp’s side enter the clash off the back of a 3-2 victory over fellow Premier League title chasers Man City to reach the FA Cup final, while Ronaldo came to the rescue with a stunning hat-trick to propel the Red Devils to a narrow victory over Norwich.

Ibrahima Konate’s third goal in three consecutive games got Liverpool off to the perfect start against Man City on Saturday, with Sadio Mane adding a further two before half time to effectively put the game beyond doubt despite a late fightback from Guardiola’s side.

While Liverpool were facing a much-altered lineup against City, the fixture list has hardly been kind to Klopp’s Reds in turn. Despite this pileup however, the Anfield outfit can dethrone the league leaders - at least temporarily, with all three points against United.

The Reds have won 10 games in a row at Anfield and have also scored at least two goals in each of their last five games in all competitions.

Liverpool fans will need little reminder of their last league meeting with United:

Liverpool’s home defence has been particularly sturdy, conceding just seven goals at Anfield in the Premier League throughout the 2021/22 season.

Klopp is currently without any real injury concerns and has a fully fit squad available to choose from.

Liverpool Predicted Team:

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Mane
