Liverpool will have a revenge project when they resume hostilities with Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Just 3 weeks ago, Erik ten Hag ended Liverpool’s quest for a historic quadruple after triumphing 4-3 in an all-time FA Cup classic.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have since bounced back with two wins over Brighton and Sheffield United to get back to the bottom of the Premier League table.
As for sixth-placed Man United, they drew 1-1 at Brentford last weekend before suffering a dramatic collapse in a 4-3 defeat at Chelsea on Thursday night.
These two old foes met in a mystery 4-3 less than a month ago and it’s hard to rule out the option of a high-scoring game when the two meet at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Although Liverpool will sit at the top of the Premier League table this weekend, they have struggled to find blank snails during the campaign.
In fact, Jurgen Klopp’s side have failed to silence their opponents in 21 of their 30 top-flight games this season, conceding at least once in 8 of their last 10 league games.
Despite all of Man United’s defensive shortcomings, they will certainly be motivated for this clash and showed in last month’s FA Cup match that they are capable of causing a lot to Liverpool’s rearguard.
With United set to score on Sunday, Liverpool’s more no-nonsense elegance deserves to see them secure what could become three more valuable things in their quest for the Premier League title.
How will the two line up on Super Sunday?Here are the planned lineups of WhoScored. com with all the applicable team news.
Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Kambwala, Maguire, Dalot; McTominay, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernández, Rashford; Hojlund
Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Núñez, Díaz
Erik ten Hag is suffering a developing crisis as a centre-back after Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans picked up knocks at Chelsea on Thursday night.
With Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez absent, Willy Kambwala is expected to join Harry Maguire in the centre of defence.
Scott McTominay is also in contention to start at Casemiro’s position, who was sidelined with an injury midweek.
Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Martial are out.
Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to have Wataru Endo in his squad, and the Japanese foreigner will likely miss the 3-1 win over Sheffield United.
Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota are two weeks away from returning to action.
A Liverpool win is too short to be subsidised with a total of 4/6, but we can increase the odds by offering 13/8 at Sky Bet by adding any of the groups to score.
The Reds will be looking for revenge and know they won’t be able to suffer another setback at Old Tr if they want to give manager Jurgen Klopp a fairytale title.
Thirteen of Liverpool’s 21 Premier League wins this season, a league high, have scored goals for both teams, adding up seven of their last nine, not to mention Man United have dealt a heavy blow in their last four top-flight defeats.
With that in mind, backing the Reds to ideally reign supreme in the penalty shootout at Old Trafford on Sunday stands out at 13/8 at Sky Bet.
