The premier league is back this weekend following the international break, and one of the top games in view is the clash between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool are looking to establish themselves fully at this stage having only won just three games from their first seven English top matches.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have won six of their first seven premier league games with just one draw. They are currently sitting second in the table with same points with leaders Man City.
Obviously, the news of Sadio Mane’s injury won’t make Jurgen Klopp the happiest manager at the moment. The Senegalese picked up an unfortunate hamstring injury while representing his country at the World Cup qualifiers last weekend, and he will certainly miss the Saturday clash.
Dejan Lovren is also out with a back problem and Adam Lallana remains sidelined. Jurgen Klopp will, however, rely on Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah as he sought to break Man United’s current unbeaten run.
And for Jose Mourinho’s side, it appears Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku will recover in time for the game on Saturday, and Michael Carrick might also be featured in the encounter.
The Portuguese tactician will, however, be without Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba as a result of injuries, but his side remains favourites to win the game at Anfield.
Who do you think will win?
