LIV vs MUN Dream11 Match Prediction: Two of the most iconic football clubs in English football will be locking horns under lights as the world comes to a halt when Liverpool and Manchester United grace the field for a classic Premier League fixture. Though Liverpool has a 14 point cushion at the top, they will be wary of the pressure that a derby game possesses. Meanwhile, Manchester United at the fifth spot in the league is the only team this season to make Liverpool drop points through a draw and will have the belief to get a positive result in enemy territory. Having said that, the Liverpool fans will be expecting their side to redeem themselves from the draw that took place in Old Trafford a couple of months ago.
Match Details
Date- Sunday, January 19
Kick-Off- 10:00 PM (IST)
Venue- Anfield
Liverpool
Head coach, Jurgen Klopp will have reinforcements as Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Fabinho have all returned to training. Naby Keita and James Milner remain on the sidelines due to injuries. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Adam Lallaana and new signing Takumi Minamino will be battling for a place in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson and Gigi Wignaldum. Salah, Mane and Firmino should be leading the line of attack for the hosts.
Manchester United
The big concern for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is Marcus Rashford’s availability for the anticipated fixture. Rashford sustained a knock against Wolves in the FA Cup tie and his presence in the starting lineup remains doubtful. Juan Mata has been quality in the last two games for United and could get to start once again for his side. Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba remain on the sidelines, as Fred and Matic are likely to accommodate midfield. Anthony Martial should be leading the attack for the visitors, while the line of defence should be unchanged.
