Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in today’s Premier League derby against Liverpool at home.
The club are currently 12 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa with a game in hand. They face a must-win situation to stay in the Champions League race.
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana has been an undisputed starter in goal for United and he is expected to continue between the sticks versus Liverpool.
In defence, there will be one change with Raphael Varane injured.
With Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof also sidelined, Willy Kambwala is expected to partner Harry Maguire in the heart of the backline.
Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are the only fit and senior full-backs available and they should start from the right and left-back positions respectively.
In midfield, there could be an enforced change with Casemiro suffering a knock in midweek. Instead of playing Scott McTominay, manager Erik ten Hag could go with Mason Mount alongside Kobbie Mainoo.
In the final third, no changes are on the cards. Alejandro Garnacho scored twice against Chelsea in midweek while Bruno Fernandes was also on the scoresheet.
Antony registered his first league assist of the campaign and he was brilliant with other aspects. He completed 100 per cent of dribbles, tackles and won nine duels.
The trio are expected to keep their places alongside Rasmus Hojlund. The Dane has registered seven goals from his previous eight league games for the Red Devils.
Predicted Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, Kambwala, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka; Mainoo, Mount; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
