BIG MATCH PREVIEW: LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER UNITED: Can Manchester United break Liverpool’s unbeaten run? Liverpool host thier bitter rivals, Manchester United at Anfield, Sunday, 5pm Nigerian time.
Traditionally, this is the biggest match in English football, despite the sorry decline of United in recent years following the retirement of Ferguson. Liverpool have become once again the team to beat in World football, everyone can attest to this, currently the European Champions, recently crowned world champion.
Of course, Liverpool go into this match as overwhelming favourite and are yet to lose a single match this season, their only draw interestingly came from man u, at old Trafford. Now, the thing is that the match this time around is in fortress Anfield. You need to go back to 2016 the last time Liverpool lost a game in Anfield, that was when Crystal palace defeated them coutesy of Christian Benteke’s double. Now this is 2020 Liverpool haven’t lost at home since then! – outstanding stuff, isn’t it? The painful thing to opponents is that even when the European champions dont play well, they keep on winning, psychology play on the opponents mind, they tend to expect this inevitable goal from Liverpool especially at injury time.
Injuries and doubts: both teams have their fair share of injuries, both notable one is Marcus Rashford, who is a doubt on Sunday after picking up a knock, in their FA cup replay win against wolves.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Liverpool: Sadio Mane, recently crowned African footballer of the year, a really tricky and outrageously fast paced winger with goal threat, he ll most likely be a handful for United defenders.
For United, Marcus Rashford is the player to watch, they’ll hope he’s fit for this match. He’s man u star man and their highest goal scorer, with 19 goals in all competition this season
*PREDICTED SCORES: How do you solve a problem like winning in Anfield, even the most ardent man u supporter, knows what they are in for on Sunday. Well, am not seeing anything other than a win for Liverpool, and I am equally sure you too you can’t see Man u winning either. Expect Liverpool unbeaten run to continue( think you can predict better than UB? drop your predictions in the comment section below and the 1st winner gets #1000 vtu)
