The biggest football derby in England kicks off this Sunday, with Liverpool awaiting Manchester United at Anfield Road.

The Reds are chasing the title, while Manchester United tries to gain some consistency.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United Preview

Liverpool

The Reds are flying high this season. Arne Slot implemented his own tactical variations into Jurgen Klopp’s system, which works perfectly for the moment. The Dutchman didn’t change the team’s philosophy and mindset but just added a touch of his own vision. Eventually, the result is impressive.

Liverpool is at the top of the standings and looks unstoppable. Coming into the New Year, their record at home was astonishing, with only one loss early on against Nottingham.

In more than 80% of the matches, the Reds have scored two or more goals in front of own crowd. Yet, they have been strong on the defensive end, posting clean sheets in over two-thirds of games played at Anfield.

Manchester United

The Red Devils expected more from Ruben Amorim’s arrival. In the end, the euphoria was abruptly interrupted. They had some good results, like the lucky win against Manchester City in the Manchester Derby, but a 0-3 loss to Bournemouth at home marked the downfall of all great hopes.

United still wanders around, trying to find its rhythm and philosophy. It’s evident that Amorim counts on Bruno Fernandes to carry this team and that some of the players, like Rashford, won’t have too big of a role in his vision.

United has very good attacking potential, but their defense is terrible. Coming into the New Year, we saw them posting just two clean sheets on the road in all the competitions. And even then, Manchester couldn’t win. Hence, these events also ended with them failing to score.
