Fabinho in defence: Predicted Liverpool lineup v Manchester United

Add as preferred source on Google

Liverpool lineup against Manchester United with the Reds in dire need of the three points. The hosts should be knackered having been forced into a game every two days. Both sides are dealing with fitness issues which could be an equaliser. Here is our predicted Liverpool lineup to face Manchester United:

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

The Brazilian can make all of the difference, he had a blinder against Southampton.

Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold

The Scouser in our team knows just how important this game is to the fans, he’ll be looking to win this one for us.

Centre back: Nat Phillips

The Bolton Baresi has been one of our most consistent performers this season, we need another big game from him.

Centre back: Fabinho

With Ozan Kabak highly unlikely to start we expect the gaffer to drop Fabinho into the back four despite the little success we’ve had with him out of the midfield.

Left back: Andy Robertson

Andy Robbo’s energy can terrorise opposition wingers and full backs, we need an intense performance.

Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum

The Dutchman has turned up for us in big games before, he’s hoping he does so again.

Centre midfield: Thiago

The midfield maestro has won the biggest games in world football, he’ll be relishing this contest.

Centre midfield: James Milner

The veteran’s experience should lift those around him, he’s played in more than enough huge games.

Left wing: Sadio Mane

The Senegal winger got himself back on the score sheet last weekend, hopefully that gives him a much needed confidence boost.

Right wing: Mo Salah

Still in the hunt for the Golden Boot, he’ll be determined to get himself another goal.

Striker: Roberto Firmino

The Brazilian was named in the starting lineup when we last tried to play this game, we expect him to be selected again.
