Liverpool have been without defensive duo Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley in recent weeks but both returned to full team training on Friday.
“Conor and Ebo will train with us for the first time today (Friday).” “So, (I’m) really curious and interested to see where they are at,” Slott said in his pre-match press conference. How will you handle it?’
Liverpool’s only absentee is Joe Gomez, who picked up a hamstring injury. 5-0 win against West Ham United Last time out. Slott has admitted the defender will be sidelined for at least “a few weeks”.
Dominik Soboszlai is back from his one-game ban and is likely to start in an attacking midfield role.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Allison; Alexander-Arnold, Kwansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes and midfielder Manuel Ugarte both served one-game bans after they were welcomed back from suspension. A disappointing defeat against Newcastle United Last Monday. The former is a particularly important returnee as the Red Devils have failed to score in their last three games.
Marcus Rashford’s future in Manchester remains uncertain and the forward, who has a strong record against Liverpool, will miss the weekend due to illness.
Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount are currently out through injury, while Jonny Evans could miss out as he was not included in the matchday squad against Newcastle.
Man Ut Predicted Lineup Against Liverpool (3-4-2-1): Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Amad, Fernandes; Hojlund.
Mn Utd will look daunting heading to Anfield given their woeful form and Liverpool’s clear superiority, with recent trips to the red half of Merseyside painfully embarrassing. Amorim will be hoping for a statement performance from his side on the grand stage but there is little evidence to suggest his wish will be granted.
Man Utd’s defense has been awful in recent weeks and they are very easy to cut down. Liverpool, who have scored 14 goals in their last three matches, are well placed to put a disorganized backline to the sword.
The three points are vital for Liverpool as they chase Premier League title but a convincing win over their bitter rivals certainly wouldn’t hurt. Man Utd’s saving grace may be that their hosts have a Carabao Cup semi-final to worry about midweek.
