Manchester United have earned their spot in the top three of the English
Premiere League table over the last few weeks. They’ve won each of
their last five matches, but not all have been with conviction. The Red
Devils have had luck on their side in their matches against Arsenal and
Southampton. Nonetheless, Manchester United has taken third place and
will not be eager to give it away so quickly. Also, despite their
consistent defensive woes, some positive news has surfaced for United as
Phil Jones has recently returned to training, yet it is unlikely that
his first re-appearance will be against Liverpool on Sunday.
Liverpool were off to a great start to their 2014/2015 campaign, but
have fallen off hard recently and are in dire need of a spark to turn
their season back around. The Reds were only just recently knocked out
of Champions League competition after their match with FC Basel on
Tuesday. A stunning 81st minute equalizer from Steven Gerrard
was not enough to give Liverpool the points they needed to accompany
Real Madrid through into the knock-out stages. Liverpool are in 9th place currently, but this is a crucial game for the Reds to earn points because they could either climb as far as 6 or fall as far as 12.
Probable lineups:
Manchester United: de Gea – Evans, Carrick, Rojo – Valencia, Fellaini, Herrera, Young – Mata – Rooney, van Persie.
Liverpool: Mignolet – Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno – Henderson, Lucas – Sterling, Gerrard, Lallana – Lambert.
