Manchester United journey the quick distance to Anfield to face Liverpool tomorrow with just about no-one besides essentially the most optimistic of followers anticipating them to get something out of the sport.
Regardless of a run of losses, head coach Ruben Amorim is adamant he received’t change his system, so we will anticipate a 3-4-3 formation once more.
Andre Onana can be in aim.
The again three may yield a shock. Lisandro Martinez has been struggling for type and was substituted in opposition to Newcastle on Monday, being changed by Leny Yoro. While the left aspect is just not the Frenchman’s pure place, United did look extra steady following his introduction.
It’s due to this fact attainable that Amorim will gamble on the teenager, along with his additional burst of tempo doubtlessly vital in attempting to include Mo Salah down that flank.
Harry Maguire will in all probability proceed within the centre of the again three, with Matthijs de Ligt at proper centre again. Amorim confirmed yesterday that Maguire can be staying on the membership for one more yr, so he appears integral to his plans.
Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are nonetheless injured.
We anticipate the wingbacks to stay the identical, with Noussair Mazraoui on the appropriate and Diogo Dalot on the left. Tyrell Malacia is an alternative choice however he has struggled to seek out his ft after a protracted damage layoff.
Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte each return from suspension and will type the midfield pivot, however we predict Amorim will play Kobbie Mainoo alongside Ugarte and play Fernandes larger up the pitch.
Amad will in all probability hold his place as Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho stay unfancied by the coach and Mason Mount is injured. Antony is an alternative choice but additionally unlikely to be trusted to start out.
Up entrance, except a false 9 is chosen, the selection is between Rasmus Hojlund and Josh Zirkzee. Neither have been enjoying nicely, however Amorim declared the Dutchman to not be a quantity 9 final week and pulled him off after half-hour enjoying within the 10 place in opposition to the Magpies.
It appears unlikely he can be chosen within the beginning XI after that fiasco.
With all that in thoughts, right here is our predicted XI for tomorrow’s 4.30pm kick-off:
