Liverpool and Manchester United will renew their fierce rivalry today when Jose Mourinho’s high-flying Red Devils travels to Anfield.
Liverpool were being touted as genuine title contenders throughout the last international break following a 4-0 victory over Arsenal, but it has been a very different story this time around.
Just one win in seven matches between the international breaks have left the Reds seventh in the Premier League table, without a win from two Champions League games and eliminated from the EFL Cup following a hugely disappointing September.
Having dropped 23 points at home last season, United have begun this campaign with a perfect record in front of their own fans, and they are not far behind on their travels either with a 2-2 draw at Stoke City the only blemish on their away record so far.
Match venue: Anfield
Time: 12:30pm
Team News
Liverpool have been hit by the news that winger Sadio Mane – only recently back from suspension – is likely to spend six weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury sustained on international duty with Senegal.
Phil Jones could be in contention following a knee injury, although Mourinho has Eric Bailly available to deputise should the England international not recover in time.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Mignolet; Alexander-Arnold; Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Can; Salah, Firmino, Coutinho
Man Utd possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Young; Matic, Herrera, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford; Lukaku
