Manchester United and Liverpool will go head to head on Sunday in 2019/20 Premier League as the season moves ahead. Liverpool go into this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 4:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United are having a poor season as of now and to their standards it’s not worth it. They must find a place amongst the top.
The Red Devils are currently 14th in the points table after eight games with just 9 points. Their goal difference is +1.
It’s like the season haven’t started get going yet for them with just two wins. For a club of United’s calibre it’s a low and they will have to find ways against mighty Liverpool.
United know any mishaps against Liverpool will potentially be dangerous and they need to play their football so far of the season to get anything from the game against an in form Liverpool side.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need to arrange his team according to match situation. They need to press in the final third. And remain defensively solid. Things will be hard against The Reds.
On the other hand, Liverpool have had an ideal season thus far in the Premier League and continuing the winning run will be their duty.
The Reds are currently atop the points table after eight games with full 24 points. The goal difference is also healthy of +14.
No doubt Jurgen Klopp’s men will start firm favourites in Manchester but overconfidence should be avoided.
Liverpool need to keep playing the brand of football they have been playing of lately to have a good chance in United’s home.
I expect it to be a good game and delight for football fans around the world. In terms of record Liverpool trail Manchester United in the head to head.
