Liverpool and Manchester United face off in a highly anticipated England derby this Sunday (5:30 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this shock.
Leader of the Premier League before the kick-off of this 17th day, Liverpool finds its biggest national rival, Manchester United, for the England derby. A colorful match that goes far beyond the framework of the green rectangle as the two cities in the northwest cultivate a rivalry at all levels (music, logistics, economy).
But it was above all the recent past between these two great institutions which animated the pre-match. Last spring, the Reds inflicted an incredible 7-0 on their rival. “ It’s always like that, and I don’t like it when the headlines in the papers are not good for United, before we play them, because it feels like this is the game where they can bounce backexplained Jürgen Klopp. I don’t follow United closely enough to know exactly what the problem is, but I saw that Erik ten Hag was voted manager of the month in November, I saw that they were the team in form in the results point of view last month. How can this go wrong? I don’t understand. The 7-0 we inflicted on them last March was a bizarre result that only happens once in a lifetime. And if it helps anyone for the next game, it’s a team that lost 7-0 and not a team that won 7-0, that’s something else. If you ignore all that, we’re just playing a football match against rivals, historic rivals, Liverpool FC at home at Anfield. That in itself has to make it a special match and that’s what I want to see from us: a special match. »
