#3 Current form and an important Champions League clash 3 days later
This will play a vital factor. Manchester United is struggling to win games at the moment. They scored a last minute winner against Crystal Palace, came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1, lost to Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, and drew with Sevilla 0-0.
On the other hand, Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 7 competition games. The Reds defeated FC Porto, West Ham, Newcastle United, and Southampton, and drew with Tottenham Hotspur and FC Porto. All in all, Jurgen Klopp’s side is in better form and shape ahead of the Saturday’s fixture.
Also, United has a key UEFA Champions League fixture against Sevilla next week, making it hard for Jose Mourinho to put everything into the Liverpool game
Current Form:
Manchester United: L - W - L - W - D - W - W
