The confirmed Liverpool lineup to face Manchester United has been released – there are no shocks as Jürgen Klopp has named his strongest available side. Here is the team to beat United:
Goalkeeper – Alisson Becker
Six consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, the Brazilian has become impassable in the net.
Right back – Trent Alexander-Arnold
We can expect him to be flying into tackles – he’s the Scouser in our team after all.
Centre beck – Virgil van Dijk
Martin Keown has called him the best the country has seen, Big Virg shouldn’t have much to do today.
Centre back – Joe Gomez
The Englishman has become undroppable for Jürgen Klopp – we have never lost a league game where JoGo has started alongside Virgil and Alisson.
Left back – Andy Robertson
Robbo loves winding up his opposition, he has become our yard dog at the back. We can expect him to be at the centre of any incidents.
Defensive midfield – Jordan Henderson
The skipper has been named England Player of the Year – with the cameras watching we can expect him to silence the critics with another sterling display.
Centre midfield – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The Ox regularly bags in big games, when space opens up we can expect him to pick up the ball and drive at goal in terrifying fashion.
Centre midfield – Gini Wijnaldum
The Dutchman’s industriousness will drive the fragile United midfield crazy.
Right wing – Mo Salah
The Egyptian King was unlucky to not get a goal for himself against Spurs – he did bag an assist though.
Firmino role – Roberto Firmino
Bobby has been back to his goal scoring best in recent games, we can expect him to have a few more pops at the net this weekend.
Left wing – Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane is nailed on for the PFA Player of the Year award, we can expect him to be too much for this sloppy United defence.
