Manchester United will lock horns with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday evening, hoping to pick up a positive result away from home. The Red Devils will be coming into the match on the back of a stunning 3-1 victory over West Ham United in the fifth round of the FA Cup competition, whereas the Reds recorded a 2-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Erik Ten Hag will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game as Raphael Varane looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.
4-3-3 Predicted Manchester United Lineup Vs Liverpool
Defence
David de Gea is expected to start between the sticks for the upcoming clash. The Spanish shot-stopper would look to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Sunday.
Raphael Varane is expected to start at the heart of United’s backline, with new signing Lisandro Martinez slotting into the right-centre back position. Diogo Dalot should start at the right-back position, whereas Luke Shaw will fill in on the other flank as the left-back.
Midfield
Casemiro is expected to start in the defensive midfield position, whereas Fred will slot in as the central midfielder.
Bruno Fernandes remains a sure-fire starter for Manchester United this week, and it’ll be an understatement to say The Red Devils will be highly dependent on the Portugal international’s creative work if they wish to pick up a win on Sunday.
Marcel Sabitzer will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he could be brought on in the second half of the contest if needed.
Attack
Antony and Marcus Rashford will take up the wide positions, causing menace for Jurgen Klopp’s men down the right and left-wing, respectively.
Wout Weghorst is expected to lead the line for Manchester United this weekend. The 30-year-old striker’s adept movement in front of the goal could cause a lot of trouble for the Liverpool defence that has kept four clean sheets in their last five matches across all competitions.
Jadon Sancho could be brought off the bench as an impact substitute in the second forty-five minutes of the match.
