With lots of attacking options for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp needs a cohesive unit that will also defend from the front.

Jota, has played all over the front three and learned to accommodate Mane floating inside, so his presence allows a freer usage of space for Nunez while also adding another creative attacker to help feed Mohamed Salah. It's a twofold issue as Liverpool have allowed teams to play through the center of the pitch, which is something that their press has prevented in past seasons but when they mix it up and try to sit deep they also lose what they're good at, still allowing goals. Don't look now but Liverpool have slowly crept back into the race for a Champions League place after a dismal start to the season.

Erik ten Hag has David De Gea in goal and it’s a back four of Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw ahead of him. Manchester United are relatively comfortable in third place and sit 10 points clear of Liverpool today. Fabinho will sit front of the back four with Jordan Henderson and Harvey Elliott further ahead in midfield.

Two colossal English teams partake in an old-aged rivalry as Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield.

United then travel to Spain for the return leg of the clash against Betis on the 16th of March. Klopp's men then face Manchester City at the Etihad on the 1st of April. Although Manchester United’s record on the road could be a point of concern for their Dutch manager.
