Manchester: So, Liverpool is gearing up to host Manchester United at Anfield today. Ruben Amorim has confirmed his squad, and the Reds are looking strong.
They’re the favorites, sitting a whopping 23 points ahead of United. If they win, they’ll stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points. Arsenal just dropped points against Brighton, so it’s a golden opportunity for them.
On the flip side, United is trying to escape the relegation zone. Their new boss has been pretty honest about the struggle they’re facing this season. Right now, they’re in 14th place, and even a win today would only bump them up to 12th.
It’s been a rough patch for United, losing five of their last six league games. Everyone’s been talking about Marcus Rashford, who was left out of the squad until he made it back to the bench against Newcastle. But he’s not in the lineup today.
Good news for United fans, though—Bruno Fernandes is back! He’s starting after his suspension and will captain the team. He’s joined in midfield by Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte, while some big names like Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are on the bench.
Defensively, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martinez are all starting. Amorim is expected to stick with his usual back three, with Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot as wing-backs. Up front, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund are set to lead the attack for United, who are hoping to snag just their third away win this season.
Here’s how United’s lineup looks: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez, Fernandes, Hojlund, Amad, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo. And the subs are Bayindir, Malacia, Yoro, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Antony, Garnacho, and Zirkzee.
