5 reasons why Liverpool will beat Manchester United on Saturday

#1 Manchester United’s defensive woes continue

Lindelof is struggling to adapt to life in the premier league

All of Jose Mourinho’s sides, be it Chelsea, Porto, Inter or Real Madrid, are known for defensive stability. However, things are not going as per plan for Mourinho this season at Old Trafford. Eric Bailly was injured for most of the campaign while Victor Lindelof has been highly inconsistent.

Though Phil Jones started the season well, his performance deteriorated as the season progressed. After some horrific performances against Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, Jones has been struggling with an injury and has been out of the squad. Chris Smalling too has been poor more often than not.

In the last 5 Premier League games, Manchester United have kept only a single clean sheet and conceded 6 goals. They were defensively abysmal against Crystal Palace and Newcastle United in recent weeks.

With Liverpool firing on all cylinders, the Merseyside giants will be confident of blowing away their opposition at Old Trafford.
