EARLY TEAM NEWS AND UPDATES FOR LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER UNITED CLASH

There is still plenty of time for Manchester United and Liverpool to prepare for their match on Monday night at Old Trafford, but there are some early indications of the two teams’ lineups.

Both teams had a poor start to the season with Brentford and Liverpool losing to Fulham and Crystal Palace before United lost to Brighton & Hove Albion, which resulted in a draw. Obviously, if the Reds triumph and Erik ten Hag’s team defeats Jurgen Klopp’s team 4-0 in the opening preseason friendly, the Reds would be ranked higher than the Merseysiders, but that would necessitate better performances from our team. outside the house. 3 points for support.

The Reds could, of course, overtake the Merseysiders in the standings with a win, and even though Erik ten Hag’s team defeated Jurgen Klopp’s team 4-0 in their first preseason matchup, it will take a significantly better showing in front of our home crowd to earn three points

Although Anthony Martial shone during the tour game in Bangkok, he has been unavailable ever since the competition started. The French forward appears to still be a major question mark going into a game against a team he scored against in memorable fashion on his Reds debut in 2015.

The Brentford center-forward position was filled thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to the lineup, but despite having a few good scoring chances, he failed to open his account for the season. The international player from Portugal will undoubtedly be driven by a desire to shock our fiercest rivals on a grand scale and display his skill in front of goal once more.

It’s unclear if Ten Hag will decide to significantly alter his starting lineup. The Dutchman acknowledged that he had the option to remove anyone at halftime last weekend, but chose to insert Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia, and Scott McTominay in place of Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, and Fred.

Although the second half performance was better, the four-goal deficit did not get smaller as Donny van de Beek and Anthony Elanga were also introduced off the bench.

We do know that Facundo Pellistri is out with an injury, Victor Lindelof missed the loss to the Bees, and Ethan Laird has been loaned out to QPR.

Watch for more hints about the team Erik will choose for the big game at his press conference on Friday.
