Liverpool are set to host Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League. While the table-toppers are enjoying a great form, the latter side is struggling badly to find the best XI under the new coach Ruben Amorim. As usual the highly-anticipated clash is expected to deliver a lot of drama and actions.
Ruben Amorim is unlikely to alter his three-man backline. Hence, expect a 3-4-3 formation from the Red Devils to overload the midfield and outnumber the opponents. However, they need to be alert and must cover the large spaces they leave behind to exploit.

Joe Gomez (hamstring) is unavailable while Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (thigh) have just returned from injuries and will not start the game.
Liverpool Predicted XI
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz

Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund
Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold can be a difference maker in both aspects of the game while Mohamed Salah is obviously a threat for the opposition.
Kobbie Mainoo can contribute a lot in the middle of the park and skipper Bruno Fernandes needs to deliver this time to help his side.
