There is this saying that a derby stops time and eclipses the ranking photography. But there is a reality, too, and the ranking of English championship is sufficiently eloquent not to make Liverpool the overwhelming favorite of this clash against its eternal rival, Manchester United. Leader of the Premier League with six points ahead of Arsenal, the Mersey club faces a drifting leader, fourteenth and on the edge of the red zone.
Beyond these accounting considerations, there is also and above all the impression left. A feeling of power for this Liverpool team, a real steamroller. The Reds’ form is so impressive that they quite simply make them the most impressive team in the world this season, with a stellar Mo Salah. Manchester United will therefore have a lot to do to create a surprise at Anfield. A success would be a real turning point in Ruben Amorim’s mandate.
The expected compositions:
Liverpool : Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson – Mac Allister, Gravenberch – Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo – Diaz.
Manchester United : Onana – De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro – Mazaroui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot – Amad, Hojlund, Fernandes.
