Man Utd and Liverpool meet on Sunday after March’s FA Cup classic at Old Trafford

Red Devils threw away lead to lose 4-3 at Chelsea on Thursday night

Liverpool were first heading into Gameweek 32 after Sheffield Utd win

By Jude Summerfield | 12:00 AM GMT+1

 

Two great rivals in contrasting moods meet on Sunday afternoon when Premier League title chasers Liverpool visit the increasingly forlorn Manchester United at Old Trafford.

 

Off-field changes are due after the investment of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS but Thursday night’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea was arguably Man Utd’s most embarrassing loss of the season, further extinguishing any lingering hopes of Champions League qualification.

 

There are more smiles to be seen at Anfield but the traveling Reds will be wary of this encounter having lost an FA Cup classic to the same opposition just last month. They come into this contest after besting Sheffield United 3-1 last time out.

 

Here’s 90min’s preview of the latest instalment in this established rivalry.

Ten Hag saw both Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans sustain injuries in Thursday’s defeat to Chelsea, which could leave Willy Kambwala partnering Harry Maguire in central defence.

 

Casemiro took a blow and could drop out of the starting lineup for Scott McTominay, while Antony might have done enough to keep Marcus Rashford on the bench.

 

There’s little wiggle room for changes elsewhere, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez all sidelined.

 

Man Utd predicted lineup vs Liverpool

Wataru Endo missed the win over Sheffield Utd but there is hope he will recover in time here, which would push Alexis Mac Allister further forward. That’s no bad thing considering his strike against the Blades on Thursday night.

 

Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota could be available for selection in two weeks’ time, but Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic seem unlikely to make any more appearances before the season is over.

 

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Man Utd

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Man Utd (4-3-3): Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Djk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.

 

Man Utd vs Liverpool score prediction

Man Utd’s season seems to slip to new lows just when it look like the true nadir has been hit and Thursday’s loss was a chastening reminder of how far the top dogs in the Premier League have progressed ahead of them.

 

Liverpool are eyeing multiple trophies but the Premier League certainly trumps the Europa League for importance. The Reds have won handsomely on previous trips to Old Trafford and will be planning another authoritative win on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United dented bitter rivals Liverpool’s title hopes as Mohamed Salah’s late spot-kick salvaged a 2-2 draw in Jurgen Klopp’s final trip to Old Trafford.

 

Three weeks on from Erik ten Hag’s men edging an FA Cup classic at the end of extra-time, this age-old rivalry resumed in a similarly chaotic clash in the Premier League on Sunday.

 

Luis Diaz put dominant Liverpool into a deserved half-time lead against stumbling United, only for Bruno Fernandes’s 45-yard jaw dropper and a magnificent Kobbie Mainoo effort to turn the match on its head.

 

 

Salah levelled with a late penalty after Aaron Wan-Bissaka brought down Harvey Elliott, but the Reds could not eke out a winner as Ten Hag’s men successfully put a spanner in their old foes’ title charge.

 

It was the 27th point Klopp’s comeback kings have won from a losing position but may not be enough, putting them level with leaders Arsenal on 71 points but substantially behind on goal difference.

 

Liverpool will be praying a costly Old Trafford draw does not go on to cost them the title like it did five years ago.

 

This match started as the tie three weeks ago ended, with Alejandro Garnacho racing through to round Caoimhin Kelleher and score inside 71 seconds.

 

 

But the flag quickly went up as the teenager had strayed offside when being put through by Fernandes and United would go on to fail to register a first-half shot as their intense start dramatically tailed off.

 

Andre Onana produced a strong hand to stop Dominik Szoboszlai after United’s makeshift, injury-hit backline – with Willy Kambwala making only his second start – creaked for the first time.

 

The Liverpool midfielder had another two chances, with Andy Robertson driving across the face of goal before the away side’s 23rd-minute opener.

 

Robertson’s corner from the right was flicked on at the near post by Darwin Nunez, with United lax defence punished as the inexplicably open Diaz volleyed into the ground and beyond Onana.

 

It was no less than the visitors deserved, but the hosts could have levelled almost immediately had someone attacked Casemiro’s header back across goal from a free-kick.

 

Liverpool looked determined to capitalise on that let-off. Onana twice denied Salah, who slashed another chance into the Stretford End after Nunez curled over.

 

United supporters’ frustration was palpable and grew when Casemiro kicked the ball out of play after Diaz went down injured.

 

The goalscorer did not even require treatment and was soon threatening to extend Liverpool’s lead which they continued to threaten when the second half got under way.

 

 

United continued to flounder but used a get of jail free card in spectacular fashion as their first shot brought a 50th-minute leveller.

 

Jarell Quansah’s misplaced pass was picked off by Fernandes, who hit an outrageous, first-time effort from 45 yards that flew beyond Kelleher and bounced home.

 

Kelleher excellently denied a Rashford cross-shot after Virgil van Dijk deflected a Garnacho shot just over as the hosts looked for a quickfire second.

 

But they were not in control and Liverpool wasted a gilt-edged chance, breaking with five men against what had been two defenders, only for Nunez squander a chance at the back post.

 

 

Both managers turned to their bench before another moment of individual quality had Old Trafford shaking in the 67th minute.

 

Mainoo collected the ball at the halfway line and drove forward, playing to the left and running into the box 18-yard box. The teenager demanded the ball, turned into space when he received it and brilliantly bent home to spark bedlam.

 

United fans chanted “Jurgen’s cracking up” as Garnacho saw a shot saved on the break and Joe Gomez’s deflected attempt was stopped.

 

Onana denied Diaz and Old Trafford cheered as Salah missed the follow-up, but the visitors were not to be denied for long.

 

Wan-Bissaka’s challenge on substitute Elliott led referee Anthony Taylor to point to the spot, with Salah stepping up to send Onana the wrong way in the 82nd minute.

 

Liverpool piled on the pressure as United wobbled, with Diaz lashing over from six yards.

 

But it was not all one-way traffic and Kelleher stopped Antony from sealing another stunning winner, with Elliott seeing an even latter shot denied.
