The two teams enter the field.
For Manchester United, attackers Mbeumo (1 goal and 1 assist in PL), Mount (1 goal in PL) and Cunha make up the attacking trio. They will be helped by Amad Diallo in the offensive phases. In the middle, we find the experienced Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes (2 goals in PL). Very little to his advantage, Turkish goalkeeper Bayindir is relegated to the bench. It is the Belgian Lammens who will be the last Mancunian bulwark.
In the absence of Alisson, it is the Georgian Mamardashvili who takes his place in the cages. Konaté, announced as uncertain after leaving the France team meeting, is well established in the central hinge alongside Van Djik. Mo Salah (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) and Cody Gakpo (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) accompany Alexander Isak (1 assist in PL) in attack. The talented Florian Wirtz starts on the substitutes’ bench.
Despite significant investments this summer, Manchester United have still been disappointing since the start of the season. The Red Devils now occupy 11th place in the standings and have been on alternating current in recent weeks. Although reinforced in his role as Manager, Ruben Amorim finds himself weakened following his checkered results. His team will move closer to the qualifying places for Europe if they win today.
After a great start to the season, Liverpool remain on three consecutive defeats in all competitions, including two in a row in the league (2-1 against Crystal Palace and Chelsea), synonymous with the loss of first place in the Premier League standings. the Reds will be keen to recover against a historic rival and come back to within one point of Arsenal, the current leader.
