Liverpool will go to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend. They overcame Sheffield United 3-1 in their previous game and will be full of confidence.
After 30 rounds of play, the Reds lead the domestic league with 70 points and remain two points ahead. It means Liverpool will win the title this season, and they will only have themselves to blame if there is a late-season comeback.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Manchester United: 4-3-3 Defence
Caoimhin Kelleher was dominant with the gloves in the previous game and will be put between the sticks once more. Conor Bradley, the right-back, struggled against Sheffield United, conceding an own goal and failing to make an effect on the game. However, he is unlikely to face any consequences for this.
Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk, the centre-back duo, continue to build a wall in front of their goal. Andrew Robertson is anticipated to return to the left-back position after recovering from an ankle injury, thus Joe Gomez will be moved to the bench.

Midfield
Liverpool will receive a significant boost from Wataru Endo, who is expected to start this game. This means Ryan Gravenberch will be removed from the lineup. The Japanese midfielder plays as number six, allowing Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai to play higher up the pitch.
Attack
There is no alteration in the offensive line, as Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah remain intact. Salah did not have a good time on Thursday. As a result, he’ll be looking to score against the Red Devils.
Ben Doak (knee), Joel Matip (knee), Thiago Alcantara (muscle), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Diogo Jota (knee), Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), and Alisson Becker (thigh) are the prominent absentees for Liverpool’s match against Manchester United.
