The Premier League classic Liverpool–Manchester United starts at 18:30.
Scott McTominay will captain Manchester United against Liverpool. PDO
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag really had to rub his brains to field a competitive squad for Sunday’s league classic at Anfield Road.
However, United’s competitiveness as a bad substitute remains to be seen. Last season, this same match ended in a 7-0 crushing victory for Liverpool.
A repetition of a similar result could already mean ten Hag being kicked out. Fortunately for the Dutchman, Manchester United is currently in such a state of disarray that it seems that at the moment there is no one in the club who would have the power and desire to make the decision to fire him.
At least with the acting CEO With Patrick Stewart there are no Nazis to fire the Manager, and accordingly the main owner Joel Glazer is waiting for Ineos Group’s billion investments in its bank account.
The away team has to enter the match without its captain, who is suspended Bruno Fernandes and injured in the Champions League Harry Maguire.
The skipper’s ribbon has been strung by a Scottish player Scott McTominay an arm that was being traded elsewhere even before the start of the season.
United’s opening: André Onana, Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie MainooScott McTominay, Antony, Rasmus Højlund, Alejandro Garnacho
Accordingly, Liverpool can attack their arch-enemy with practically the best possible lineup: Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas, Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz
Earlier on Sunday, Arsenal rose to the top of the Premier League, at least for a while, by beating Brighton 2–0. Of course, Liverpool will take back the first place if they manage to beat Manchester United.
