Manchester United are going to host Liverpool this Sunday at Old Trafford, in what promises to be a high-octane clash.
Manchester United are looking well-prepared for this game as they recently knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup with a dramatic 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United stand at the 4th position in the league table at 51 points from 26 Premier League matches, which is a stark change from what the situation was just two months ago.
Under the management of Solskjaer, Manchester United are still unbeaten in the Premier League. Let us take a look at the team news for the Red Devils.
Manchester United's team news
Solskjaer's United are dealing with a few injury concerns as the likes of Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial could miss the vital game this weekend. Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian are likely to miss the match too.
Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford were the frontmen in the victory against Chelsea. Now, let us take a look at how Solskjaer could line up his Manchester United XIagainst the Reds.
Goalkeeper
David De Gea is set to feature in Manchester United's starting line-up as the goalkeeper. He is likely to replace Sergio Romero, who managed to keep another clean sheet in the FA Cup victory against the Blues.
De Gea is the No. 1 goalkeeper in Solskjaer's squad, and it is expected that he will be lined up in the weekend's special match.
Defenders
After a brilliant performance against Chelsea, Ashley Young is likely to start the match as the right back while Luke Shaw could make another Premier League appearance for Man United this weekend as a left back.
The Man United defenders have to focus on their defensive qualities as the task is not going to be easy in front of the likes of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Firmino.
Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof are available as the centre-backs for Manchester United. Against Chelsea, Smalling and Lindelof showed a great balance at the back, so they are likely to start this weekend again.
Midfielders
Manchester United's midfielders are doing a great job. The trio of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera are going from good to better.
Pogba has scored the most goals for Manchester United this season so far. And Herrera showed his class against Chelsea where he scored a brilliant header and created a few tremendous chances.
The midfield should remain unchanged this weekend too.
Forwards
Marcus Rashford should start as a centre forward this weekend while Alexis Sanchez could start too. Sanchez could replace Romelu Lukaku as the Belgian striker hasn't been at his best lately.
Rashford could start with Sanchez at his left, and Mata at his right.
GK: De Gea
DEF: Young (RB), Smalling (CB), Lindelof (CB), Shaw (LB)
MID: Pogba (CM), Matic (DM), Herrera (CM)
FW: Mata (RW), Rashford (CF), Sanchez (LW)
