Our Liverpool FC writers choose their teams for the crucial Premier League match against fierce rivals Manchester United this afternoon.
Wataru Endo and Andy Robertson will compete for a spot in Jurgen Klopp’s starting lineup as Liverpool looks to defeat Manchester United and return to the top of the Premier League.
Wataru Endo and Andy Robertson make a comeback There is hope for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp anticipates Trent Alexander Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Alisson Becker returning to training the next week.
But none of those three will be available today, so Klopp will have to go deep again as his team looks to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
Conor Bradley is replaced at right back by Joe Gomez. Although the Northern Irishman has performed brilliantly, his more seasoned teammate provides greater stability and expertise, which may be crucial.
Although Ibrahima Konate is selected with Virgil van Dijk in the center, Andy Robertson, who made an outstanding impression off the bench against Sheffield United, starts on the opposite flank. Manchester United and Rangers will play a glamorous friendly at Murrayfield.
Wataru Endo makes a comeback in midfield, moving Alexis Mac Allister, who is playing well, forward to occupy one of the No. 8 spots. Despite my want to start Harvey Elliott, I’m sticking with Dominik Szoboszlai.
This season, Liverpool’s midfield has been noticeably absent from United, and if they want to win a crucial three points, they must tighten things up in the engine room.
The starting lineup for the match against Sheffield United is the same. Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah’s strength, speed, and technique should pose challenges for United. The members of my squad (4-3-3) are: Kelleher; Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson. Ian Doyle: Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah received the starting nods.
This is Jurgen Klopp’s final game in charge of Liverpool against Manchester United. And rarely, when there’s an ongoing Premier League title fight, has a trip to Old Trafford been so significant. So what is the head of the Reds to do? Changes should be made, but not to the objective. Caoimhin Kelleher is that.
Jarell Quansah can replace captain Virgil van Dijk at center back, and Joe Gomez can switch to right back to free up Andy Robertson’s spot at left back. Wataru Endo, who was formerly a number six, is back in the middle.
Alexis Mac Allister may take his place on the left, while Harvey Elliott can take over on the right side of the engine room.
Darwin Nunez is in the middle, Mohamed Salah is on the right, and Luis Diaz is on the left, therefore the top three players remain same. My team (4-3-3): Salah, Nunez, Diaz; Endo, Elliott, Mac Allister; Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Kelleher. Avoid missing Paul Ince, the manager of Blackburn Rovers, watches as Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal play in the Barclays Premier League at Ewood Park.
Theo Squires: The front three are still the same Liverpool must now defeat Manchester United away from home after watching both Manchester City and Arsenal triumph on Saturday. That is easier said than done, however, given their recent performances versus their fiercest opponents. After that dismal FA Cup elimination three weeks ago, there are scores to be settled.
A game too far, but with a long list of injuries going into the March international break, Jurgen Klopp’s team is beginning to appear a little healthier as players begin to return one by one. Although Ibrahima Konate was not there for the 4-3 loss last month, he is still eligible to play alongside Virgil van Dijk in this match. Following an outstanding cameo against Sheffield United, Andy Robertson starts at left-back, with Joe Gomez moving to the other flank. Wataru Endo can return to the starting lineup after missing the victory over the Blades due to precautions, which will force Alexis Mac Allister to play a more forward position.
The top three remain the same in the interim. Liverpool had plenty of opportunities to score when they played the Red Devils last. Seeking retribution, ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself. My team (4-3-3): Salah, Nunez, Diaz; Kelleher; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister.
