The classic of English football classics returnsa Liverpool-Manchester United now has the ‘red devils’ in a good moment with a stellar Marcus Rashford and the ‘reds’ involved in many problems. Between Erik te Hag and Jürgen Klopp, 3 clashes so far: 2-1 for the Dutchman’s United in the current Premier at Old Trafford and two victories for the German’s Liverpool against Ajax, then led by Ten Hag, in the 2020-21 Champions League (1-0 and 0-1).
Liverpool and Manchester United starsfor reasons not only sporting but also historical, the biggest rivalry in english football. Both teams are the most successful in England, both domestically and in Europe and, at the English league level, United has the record, 20 wins, but Liverpool follows with 19, one less. United’s last, in 2012-13. The last at Liverpool, in 2019-20.
Right now, United are 3rd in the Premier14 points behind leaders Arsenal (who have played two more games than the ‘red devils’). And Liverpool, 6th, 24 behind the ‘gunners’ and 6 in the Champions League (the ‘reds’, with two games less than Arsenal and Tottenham, 4th). This Sunday’s game is more important for Klopp’s team, struggling to qualify for a Eurotournament, than Ten Hag’s.
Marcus Rashford, on a roll, has scored 7 goals in the last 8 games. The English international striker will try to break Liverpool’s tie against United at home: the ‘reds’ have gone 6 Premier League games without defeat at Anfield against Old Trafford, since a 0-1 defeat in January 2016. This is Liverpool’s longest unbeaten streak at home to United since one in 9 games between 1970 and 1979.
