Featured Game | Manchester United vs. Liverpool
Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds have scored at least three goals in eight of their past nine in all competitions and face a Manchester United defense that has really been struggling. Mohamed Salah scored in all nine of those matches, and the Red Devils have conceded at least once in their past nine. Salah has seven goals in league play, and Sadio Mane (five goals) and Roberto Firmino (four) also are in top form. Manchester United is missing top defender Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof has struggled in his place alongside Harry Maguire.
The Reds are 3-1-0 in league away games, while Manchester United lost at home to both West Ham and Aston Villa last month. Liverpool will be looking to make a statement while trying to keep pace with league leader Chelsea and defending champ Manchester City at the top of the table. The defense led by Virgil Van Dijk and Joel Matip has allowed six league goals, three of those in a stunning draw with Brentford and the other three in stalemates with Chelsea and Man City. Liverpool has a league-high 165 shots, 23 more than any other team, and 32 percent have been on target.
Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils should have some confidence after rallying for a 3-2 win against Atalanta in the Champions League. They could be playing for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future, and the Old Trafford crowd will be boisterous for this rivalry match. The back line has been an issue, but United has scored 16 goals. Bruno Fernandes (four goals) and Cristiano Ronaldo (three in five games) are among the world’s best finishers. Liverpool has conceded multiple goals in three of the past five, and Manchester United has put 33.6 percent of its shots on target, third-most in the league.
Ronaldo scored the game-winner against Atalanta, and Marcus Rashford also tallied in the second-half comeback before taking a minor knock. Solskjaer is optimistic he will be ready Sunday, and the manager can also turn to Mason Greenwood, who is tied for the team lead with four goals. Paul Pogba leads the Premier League with seven assists, and will likely be joined in the midfield by Scott McTominay with Fred expected to miss out.
