As Manchester United prepare for their long-awaited trip to Anfield, anticipation builds around Amorim’s lineup choices and whether this clash could spark a turning point in the club’s season.

A cozy room with a wooden desk, computer, and warm sunlight streaming through a window.

This season’s first Northwest Derby is getting ready to take stage. Manchester United will aim to bring their best game in an attempt to upset the champions and take home the three points, along with their first win at Anfield in over nine years. On that note, which Red Devils will start for the big clash against Liverpool?

Team News

It’s been confirmed by Ruben Amorim that “Licha” Martinez will miss the match despite returning to training. Additionally, it’s also doubtful Mazraoui will return from injury in time for the match.

Who needs to start? Who needs to be dropped?

In terms of who needs to start, it isn't up for discussion. After having an amazing outing in goal against Sunderland, Lammens must start in order to prove he can be United’s #1. The back three will likely remain the same, as Yoro, De Ligt, and Shaw were relatively solid against Sunderland.

For the midfield, while there are many calls for Kobbie Mainoo to start, it isn’t doubtful Amorim will opt to play the experienced Casemiro and Bruno. The wingbacks shall remain with Amad on the right after a superb performance last game. However, on the left, it’s only right Dorgu starts ahead of Dalot after his horrid game previously.

Attack under debate

Upfront, the attacking three is under question, as it’s up for debate by fans whether Mount or Cunha starts. Despite this, after performing well, it’s only logical Mount gets the start after impressing with his ability to track back and his pressing.

A turning point in the season

This can prove to be either a turning point in the Red Devils' season or another disaster-class. Facing Liverpool’s strong side, United will need to play from the first to the final whistle to be able to bring glory back home to Old Trafford.
