Liverpool host Manchester United on Sunday and are in desperate need of a victory.
A win would halt an alarming slump in form for the Reds. After a perfect start to the season, Arne Slot’s side have suffered three consecutive defeats across all competitions. Consequently, this run has seen them lose their grip on top spot in the Premier League. It has also put their Champions League progress in doubt.
Returning to Anfield provides the perfect opportunity to bounce back. The Reds have an exceptional home record against their arch-rivals. In fact, they remain unbeaten in the last nine league meetings on Merseyside. Furthermore, Mohamed Salah boasts more goal involvements against United than any other player in Premier League history. He will undoubtedly be eager to add to his tally today.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot has received a double fitness boost ahead of the match. Specifically, both Ibrahima Konaté and Ryan Gravenberch are now fit. This comes despite injury concerns emerging over the international break. Their availability is certainly crucial. However, the manager still faces a major problem in goal. Alisson Becker remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Therefore, Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue to deputise between the posts. In attack, Hugo Ekitike returns from suspension. The team expect him to lead the line. Elsewhere, Florian Wirtz leads the team for chances created this season. Nevertheless, he is still searching for his first league goal or assist. His creativity will be key in unlocking the United defence.
Liverpool predicted lineup
Liverpool predicted XI: Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike
