Manchester United Vs Liverpool: Talking Tactics

Erik ten Hag will look to field a 4-2-3-1 formation, asking his men to maintain shape to defend well. They will try to catch the opponents off-guard on the counter.

Jurgen Klopp will probably name a traditional 4-3-3 formation to maintain possession of the ball. Liverpool will try to deploy a high backline and build attacks from wide areas.

Team News

Manchester United

Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Altay Bayindir and Anthony Martial are sidelined for the clash, while Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane and Casemiro are doubtful.

Manchester United Predicted XI

Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Kambwala, Maguire, Dalot; McTominay, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes; Hojlund, Rashford

Liverpool

The Reds will be without the services of Diogo Jota, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Joel Matip, Thiago, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson.

Liverpool Predicted XI

Kelleher; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.

Key Men

Manchester United

In the absence of other prominent names, Harry Maguire will definitely have to play a major role in the defensive line. On the attacking front, in-form Alejandro Garnacho’s performance will be vital, along with Bruno Fernandes, who can make the difference.

Liverpool

The return of Wataru Endo will be a major boost for Jurgen Klopp’s men. If he manages to do well in the midfield, his teammates will be able to operate higher and create more threats. Mohamed Salah didn’t have a good game recently and will be motivated to hurt one of his favourite opponents.
