Historically, it is the most anticipated match in England and the most followed by the world of football. This Sunday, Liverpool hosts Manchester United at Anfield as part of the 20th day of the English championship.
Solid leader in the standings with 45 points on the clock, Liverpool has impressed and mastered its subject perfectly since the start of the season. The Mersey club once again has the opportunity to strike a major blow in this championship against its eternal rival.
On the other hand, the situation is completely different. The Mancuniens have changed direction and are now led by the Portuguese Ruben Amorim. However, the former Sporting Portugal player has encountered some difficulties since his arrival. The Red Devils have three defeats in a row in all competitions and are in 14th position in the Premier League.

Ibrahima Konaté and Conor Bradley should not appear on the scoresheet for this Premier League clash against Manchester United.
Starting XI : Alisson – Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomes, Alexander-Arnold – Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai – Diaz, Salah, Gakpo
Three absent in Ruben Amorim’s squad. Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount will certainly not be there to face the leader Liverpool.
Departing XI: Onana – Lisandro Matinez, Maguire, Yoro – Dalot, Mainoo, Ugarte, Mazraoui – Garnacho, Diallo – Hojlund
Unsurprisingly, Liverpool will win this Derby against their Mancunian rival. In front of their audience, the Reds will show themselves sparkling and solid against a team of Ruben Amorim who will not succeed in pulling off the same feat as Manchester City.
17 goals and 13 assists for Mo Salah in this first part of the season. Remarkable statistics for the Egyptian winger who will once again improve his figures this Sunday against Manchester United. Number 11 will still be decisive.
He is currently the best performing player in the Red Devils squad. Amad Diallo never ceases to surprise and show beautiful things under the Mancunian tunic. Against Liverpool, the striker will be restless despite his team’s defeat.
