Preview Manchester United Premier League, Oct 24, 2021
Preview The Red Devils will be making a return from the UEFA Champions League, where they defeated Atalanta, 3-2 in Wednesday’s five-goal thriller at Old Trafford. After trailing by two goals at the break, United equalized through Maguire (75') before completing the comeback with a stunning header from Cristiano Ronaldo (81'). Back on the home front, Manchester United were on the losing end, following the shocking 4-2 defeat to the Foxes last weekend. Mason Greenwood (19’) had the Red Devils in the lead before a goal from Youri Tielemans (31’) restored parity and inspired Leicester to a famous win. The defeat saw the Red Devils drop two spots down, from 4th to 6th place on the Premier League table. Ole will fancy a quick return to winning ways after the recent defeat: WWLDL. However, picking up three points against Liverpool, who remain unbeaten in the Premier League, appears to be a tall order. Manchester United have 14 points after 4W, 2D, & 2L, and a healthy average of 2 goals per game, having scored 16 goals in eight Premier League games. On Sunday, a 4—2—3—1 formation may be seen from Ole Gunnar Solskjær with none other than Ronaldo leading the attack. Marcus Rashford suffered a dead leg in United's UEFA Champions League win over Atalanta and remains in doubt for this fixture. Meanwhile, Varane is ruled out with a groin injury alongside Fred (Hamstring).
Preview Liverpool Premier League, Oct 24, 2021
Preview Second-placed Liverpool are also making a return to Premier League action after a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid. Last weekend, in the Premier League, a merciless Liverpool didn’t hold back against Watford despite knowing it was Claudio Ranieri’s first day on the job. The Reds smashed the Hornets to pieces in a 5-0 win. Liverpool have 18 points from 5W, 3D, & 0L, and are the only team in the Premier League to remain unbeaten. Jurgen Klopp’s side have three victories in five games: WWDDW. The club’s signature identity, styled in the attacking 4—3—3 formation on the pitch, will see Mane, Firmino, and the red-hot-form Salah in attack. The Egyptian, Salah, scored in the last two games at Old Trafford and could become the first Liverpool player to bag three in a row at the Theatre of Dreams.
