#2 Liverpool make the short trip to Old Trafford
Over in the Premier League, the biggest fixture over the weekend undoubtedly comes in Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United. The Reds are currently in second place, chasing league leaders Chelsea, who are four points clear at the top. Chelsea’s loss against Tottenham last week was not taken advantage of as Liverpool also dropped points against lowly Sunderland.
Manchester United are on a fantastic run and have now won all of their last six games in the league. Unfortunately for them, the teams above them are also on decent runs, leaving Jose Mourinho’s side still in sixth position.
The fixture between the two rivals always provides sparks and heated encounters and expect this tie to be no different as both teams have a lot to gain and even more to lose. The last game between the two ended in a drab nil all draw but we can be sure that a repeat of that game is not on the mind of either manager.
Depending on results elsewhere, the Red Devil’s will finally have the opportunity to climb up the table, while Liverpool can close the gap on Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp’s side will be without key player Sadio Mane, who is off travelling with his country at the AFCON 2017.
