Our prediction for this Premier League match:
All eyes will be on Anfield when Liverpool and Manchester United square off against each other in the Premier League derby. The Reds have yet to recover from a heavy 5-2 loss to Real Madrid, with the team playing out a slim goalless draw with Crystal Palace at the weekend, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. Both Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara continue to miss out with injuries, while Joe Gomez should recover in time to face the Red Devils.
Man Utd, on the other hand, are eyeing their sixth consecutive league win, and we predict that Erik ten Hag’s men will take advantage of the current situation in the home team’s dressing room. A man to watch in the away team will be Marcus Rashford, who put icing on the cake in the EFL Cup triumph over Newcastle United, while both Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are sidelined with injuries. Anthony Martial is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Manchester United):
Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles.
A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.
The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
