Ashley Young and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are SO advanced in these opening stages. Manchester United certainly won’t die wondering.

Stevie G prediction

(*****************************************************************************************************: 10:Quite a funny exchange between Rangers manager Steven Gerrard and a reporter earlier today.

The ex-Liverpool captain was in a fairly poor mood after a 1-1 draw with Hearts and didn’t seem to enjoy the questioning.

Reporter: “Is this the best thing for Liverpool to be going to Old Trafford? “Gerrard:” Yes. “

Reporter:” How do you think it will go? “Gerrard:” Liverpool win. “

Reporter: “Why are you so confident?”

Gerrard: “Are you going to continu e to ask me these silly questions? They have played eight games and won eight. The front three are in fantastic form. They haven’t conceded many goals. They are European champions. Do you want any other reasons why? Did you think I was going to say anything different? Come on! “

Meaningless record

(*****************************************************************************************************: 00 :Jurgen Klopp insists his – and the club’s – poor record at Old Trafford has no significance today.

The German has not won in four visits to their arch-rivals’ ground, coming away with three draws and a defeat.

Liverpool’s last victory there came in March 2014, a 3-0 win by Brendan Rodgers’ side in their thrilling title challenge of that season.

In the Premier League they have won just five times in (visits, losing on) occasions.

“I never really struggled with confidence to be honest. I am quite optimistic ”, Klopp said. “History, in this case, is not really important. We are really looking forward to playing the game.”

‘I’ve never been so confident’

15: 55:That’s the defiant message from Graeme Souness, who believes Liverpool have a great chance of winning even without Mohamed Salah.

“Enormous,” Souness said when asked about Salah’s absence. “He’s one of their main men, Origi is a drop in quali ty but has got some big goals for them.

“Liverpool work hard in midfield, they’re rock-solid at the back, they have the best center-back in world football and I just see a Liverpool win. I’ve never been so confident about a Liverpool team to Old Trafford and having a good day. ”

Twitter round-up

Buddy: Any Liverpool fan who thinks Liverpool just need to turn up to win this. Has no idea of ​​the history of this fixture & the attitude both sets of players will have.

Jeje: I don’t see Mohamed Salah’s absence as a thing of concern for Liverpool really. He’s never really been any good against Manchester United anyways.

Steve: For all Liverpool fans expecting a cakewalk at Old Trafford today, this fixture never works that way. Mark my words United will be super up for this and we will have to be at the top of our game, whatever the table may currently look like. Beware complacency.

Ashley: Fred and A. Pereira in mid, oh man that looks ominous. The work is on McTominay today then. Young is playing as an attacking winger, i hope, and will roll back the years to when his attacking and crossing were prime.

Tom: Hearing that Liverpool dropped Salah in sympathy after seeing United’s midfield.

‘United have a great chance’

15: 20:Jose Mourinho is feeling daily optimistic about Manchester United’s chances this afternoon. I suppose there’s a first time for everything.

He’s a pundit on Sky Sports today and thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will be fueled by the fear of losing on their own patch.

“First of all, what the game means for the fans, in the dressing room you know that, you feel that, it’s not a game like the others, that is for sure, ”Jose said.

“ Everyone expects Liverpool to come here and win. I’m not so sure, I think United have great chance to change at least the feelings, the difference between nine, ten, 12 points is not huge but the difference between lose at home against the biggest rival or not to lose at home I think makes a huge difference. ”

Was that… was that a dig

15: 15:Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a jab to the Liverpool kidneys! Didn’t know he had it in him.

The Norwegian tactician poked fun at Liverpool by mentioning their ongoing title drought.

The Red Devils have failed to win the league in the five full seasons since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club with 13 championship medals under his arm, but Liverpool’s drought has gone on for far longer.

The Reds have tried and failed to finish top in every season since 1990, which is a run of 27 full campaigns of domestic failure.

“I am sure we will bounce back and win the league,” said Solskjaer, when asked about his side’s poor form of late, before unleashing his thinly-veiled dig at Liverpool.

“And I am sure it won’t be 30 years until the next Premier League that we do win. ”Meow!

Paul Pogba

Mohamed Salah injury latest

15: 05:So I’ve seen the hysteria surrounding the fitness of Mohamed Salah.

The Liverpool winger isstillexpected to have recovered from a twisted ankle sustained against Leicester.

I blame the panic on the official Premier League fantasy football website, who still have him down as a doubt. )

Countdown…

15: 00:Fasten your seat-belts folks, only 90 minutes until kick off… Sky Sports are just starting their marathon coverage. Roy Keane, Jose Mourinho and Graeme Souness all eagerly waiting to slate Paul Pogba.

Wazza nightmare

14: 55:Not too relevant to this fixture – but did anyone see Wayne Rooney’s final MLS match last night? Talk about a disaster…

DC United scored an incredibly dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in a play-off against Toronto to force extra time.

All sounds good, right? However, Toronto then proceeded to score FOUR goals in 13 minutes and won the match 5-1.

The 33 – year-old former Manchester United and England forward will now head to join Championship Derby, who are also in something close to disarray. Can’t see anything going wrong there…

Circumstances…

14: 50:Having taken Manchester City to the wire in the fight for the title last season before going on to lift the Champions League, Liverpool are in a great position to push for their maiden Premier League crown.

They have won all eight of their opening fixtures and head to old foes Manchester United looking to equal the best start to a Premier League season (nine wins, matching Chelsea in 2005 / 06) and the most consecutive wins in the Premier League (18, stretching back over the last campaign and drawing level with Manchester City in 2017 / 18).

While a trip to Old Trafford, a place they have won only once in all competitions since 2009, would usually be seen as a daunting prospect, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are in something resembling disarray – starting the weekend 12 th in the table, knowing defeat would see them fall 18 points behind their rivals and with pressure growing on the manager to tu rn things around.
