The Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United will take place at Anfield on Sunday at 10:00 pm IST.
Manchester United faces Liverpool at Anfield, bracing for a potentially record-breaking crowd of 57,000. The match revives memories of last season’s seven-goal defeat for United. Both teams, considered titans in the Premier League, seek to correct midweek errors in the anticipated headline contest this weekend.
Liverpool’s Anfield Road Stand will open a month early, hosting their highest number of spectators since 1973 in Sunday’s clash with Manchester United. With a successful test event on Monday, Liverpool anticipates a record-breaking crowd. Leading the Premier League, Liverpool faces United in a highly anticipated battle. Despite a midday kickoff tradition under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool secured a trademark comeback against Crystal Palace last weekend. Starting gameweek 17 at the top, Liverpool holds a one-point lead over Arsenal, with a two-point cushion over Aston Villa. A recent seven-game home winning streak and consistent scoring add to Liverpool’s strong form.
After suffering a disappointing European exit, Manchester United faces a challenging period without European football in early 2024. Erik ten Hag, their manager, has the opportunity to address the team’s domestic struggles, highlighted by a disheartening 3-0 loss to Bournemouth and a bottom finish in Europa League Group A. Currently, United lags five places and 10 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League standings. Their last away victory against a top-eight team was in October 2021, orchestrated by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United’s recent history at Anfield includes a 7-0 defeat in March, marking their heaviest Premier League loss and emphasizing their struggles on Liverpool’s turf.
Liverpool probable starting lineup: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch, Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Varane, Shaw, McTominay, Amrabat, Mainoo, Antony, Hojlund, Rashford
