Reasons for Manchester United to beat Liverpool

CAIRO – 13 October 2017: Manchester United prepares to face Liverpool on Saturday at 1:30 p.m at Anfield Stadium in the eighth week of the Premier League.

Manchester United is in second place — the goal difference is in Manchester City’s interest. Man United played seven matches (six wins and a draw).

Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini will be absent due to injuries, with doubts about the participation of Michael Carrick and Phil Jones. In spite of this, there are plenty of reasons for the Red Devils to win.

- The big offensive force of Manchester United this season. The team scored 32 goals in 10 games. Man UTD offense will face Liverpool — 20 goals have been scored on it in 12 games, 7of which came in the last 15 minutes of the match.

That would be the best time for Man UTD after scoring 11 goals in the last quarter hour of the match.

- Mourinho's style of playing is the same as Liverpool's defensive weaknesses, which received the greatest number of goals from crosses in general.

- Manchester United's defensive force, which has conceded only four goals in 10 games, has kept a clean sheet in seven games.

- On the other hand, Brazilian duo Coutinho and Firmino played their last match with Brazil against Chile on Wednesday, which will fatigue them and affect their level.

- The absence of Sadio Mane will let Antonio Valencia free and Manchester United relies on him heavily on the attacking situation and that will give him enough space to move in the front.

- The psychological factor is also in Manchester United’s side. The team has been very steady since the beginning of the season, unlike Liverpool, which lost nine points in the league.
