A Clash of Titans at Old Trafford
Liverpool returns to Old Trafford this Sunday with a burning desire for redemption, fully aware that anything less than a victory would fall short of their aspirations as they strive to maintain their Premier League title challenge against Manchester United. The clash between these storied clubs last month in the FA Cup remains etched in memory as one of the season's most exhilarating encounters. United emerged triumphant in a breathtaking fashion, halting Jurgen Klopp's quest for a quadruple and injecting fresh life into their own campaign.
As the latest chapter unfolds in this historic rivalry, Erik ten Hag finds himself battling for his managerial future, while Liverpool aim to bid farewell to their manager in style during his final season.
Liverpool will be buoyed by the return of Wataru Endo for this crucial fixture against Manchester United. Despite missing out on Thursday's victory over Sheffield United due to a minor injury, the midfielder is expected to be fit for the showdown at Old Trafford.
Endo's availability serves as a significant boost for Liverpool, who continue to contend with the absence of key players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, and Diogo Jota. Although Mohamed Salah was substituted after an hour against Sheffield United, Klopp clarified that the move was merely to afford the Egyptian a well-deserved rest. Salah's track record against Manchester United speaks volumes, having scored 13 goals in 14 appearances for Liverpool, including eight goals in his last five outings at Old Trafford across all competitions.
