England’s two biggest clubs face off in Premier League action on Saturday, as 2nd placed Manchester United host 3rd placed Liverpool at Old Trafford. These two storied clubs will be desperate for a win that will help secure the position of being slightly less embarrassingly behind the league leaders. In the reverse fixture, Jose Mourinho took a hammering from fans and media for failing to show any semblance of attacking ambition at Anfield, despite the fact that Jurgen Klopp’s side were hardly in impressive form at the time.

Klopp, for his part, has warned that fans shouldn’t expect his Liverpool team to go all out against United, and that they may even “park the bus.” With the state of Liverpool’s defense at times, that would be quite a sight. Mourinho’s own defensive ranks will be boosted by the return to fitness of United’s only non-useless defender, as well as Marouane Fellaini’s elbows. Eric Bailly alone cannot solve United’s defensive woes though, so let us hope that through some divine intervention Mohamed Salah doesn’t figure out that Ashley Young doesn’t actually ever know where he is supposed to be.

Paul Pogba faces a late fitness test after pulling up in training on Friday, and Anthony Martial is likely still out with injury. As usual for this fixture, the spectacle will likely fail miserably to live up to the hype. Dull 0-0 draw nailed on.
