Manchester United will be hosting Liverpool at the Old Trafford this weekend in the quarter-final match of the FA Cup. After facing a defeat at the hands of Manchester City, they bounced back against Everton to secure three vital points in the domestic league.
The Red Devils’ players will be fresh as compared to the Reds, who played a match on Thursday. With crowd support and confidence, Erik ten Hag’s men can overcome the huddle of Liverpool. Whatever happens, it will be an eye-catching clash between the two sides.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Liverpool
Defence
Goalkeeper Andre Onana has been stepping up in recent games. He made some good saves against Everton and will be ready to make an impact again this weekend. Diogo Dalot should start as the right-back but needs to bring more accuracy to his crosses.
Raphael Varane will definitely start as the centre-back in the XI. In a major boost, Harry Maguire is likely to return from injury and pair up with him. While Jonny Evans will be sent to the bench, Erik ten Hag wouldn’t risk changing the left-back Victor Lindelof.
Midfield
No changes in the holding midfield duo of Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro. However, they should be at their best to overpower the performing midfielders of Liverpool.
Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford will be operating up front. Apart from offensive duties, they will be required to contribute to the defensive aspects also.
Attack
A major boost for the Reds as star striker Rasmus Hojlund is expected to make his return from a muscle injury. He was in red-hot form before injury and would like to continue from where left. His inclusion in the side means Scott McTominay will be sent to the bench.
Anthony Martial (groin), Luke Shaw (muscle), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Lisandro Martinez (knee) are not going to participate in the contest.
