Predicted Manchester United XI to face Liverpool in the Premier League
It’s the big clash on Sunday as table toppers Manchester United go up against eternal rivals Liverpool. The Red Devils have been in imperious form over the last few weeks with 4 wins from their last 5 games and not losing even one league outing since the start of November.
Their rivals on the other hand haven’t exactly been rolling right this season. They have just 2 wins from their last 5 games. This is a top of the table clash with United holding a 3-point advantage. It promises to be an intriguing fixture.

Solskjaer could be without a few players for this trip due to injuries. Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic went down with injuries.
Three central defenders are also set to be out as Lindelof still recovers from his back problem and the duo of Jones and Rojo still remain out. Not a lot of changes from the last game to be expected as a strong side is expected to walk out for this vital clash.
Probable Manchester United XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1
David de Gea (GK)
A rare clean sheet for the shot-stopper. He is in a good bit of form with some good saves over the last few games.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB)
A lot will be riding on Wan-Bissaka’s ability to keep Mane out of the game. Needs to be at his imperious best
Eric Bailly (CB)
Continues his splendid run in the side. Has not shirked from putting his body on the line when needed.
Harry Maguire (CB)
Unlucky to be denied a perfect goal last game. Nonetheless, will be an important presence in defence.
Luke Shaw (LB)
Shaw will have the daunting task of keeping the dangerous Mo Salah at bay. Has improved a lot this season.
Scott McTominay (DM)
The youngster might get to feature in this game to provide some added steel and protection in the midfield.
Fred (CM)
Much like his partner McTominay, Fred could come in to give the team some more numbers in midfield.
Paul Pogba (CM)
It seems like Pogba is finally delivering on his talent and he will be hungry for more after bagging the winner against Burnley.
Bruno Fernandes (AM)
Quiet game by his standards, but rest assured he will be United’s biggest threat here.
Marcus Rashford (ST)
Rashford knows a thing or two about scoring against Liverpool. The youngster has cut a frustrating figure in the last few games though.
Edinson Cavani (ST)
The Uruguayan will be hoping to exploit a shaky and makeshift Liverpool backline in the absence of their key defenders.
