Manchester City got a comfortable win against Crystal Palace and same happened to the Gunners who found their way to the top of the table with a clean sheet, with the Citizens still hanging on to have their chances of some how getting to the top, while Liverpool are visiting Old Trafford to see if they could get something out of that encounter.
These winnings from Manchester City and Arsenal in early matches this week put pressure on Liverpool. Playing after two competitors and especially after these competitors won their matches, is not easy. It's big challenge for Liverpool and big test for their mentality especially their opponent will be Manchester United.
United don't have good form recently and they lost two latest matches with broken defense in late of these matches. This weak defense system and weak mentality make Manchester United look to be weak in a coming match with Liverpool. However as a big club, they can bounce and make a surprise in match against Liverpool.
I still believe in Liverpool to be a winner after final whistle but I see Manchester United still have small chance to make a shock and it depends on Ten Hag's approach in tactics for the clash.
To be frank with you this Liverpool side can't concentrate knowing that they're playing against a team that's not coordinated for better part of this campaign, which means this game UTD will take it seriously.
Talking about their defense, I believe that ETH doesn't have a clue on how to get his best centre-back even if he was a defender in his playing days, imagine against Chelsea ETH played 3 defenders in one position in the same game, that's crazy, he doesn't know how to use his sub to kill a game he's winning, can't believe that.
Everything about Man UTD is filled with unnecessary errors starting from the coach down to the players, when the players seem to be playing well and you give them that little praise you'd see them showing their true colors.
Today's game Man UTD have the advantage and the only way they can win is to score first because Liverpool are coming out with 40% of pressure in them and if eventually Manchester United get an early goal the pressure would increase to 95%, so Liverpool can't concentrate, that's how it has to be for United to win this game after all home advantage applies, they should not allow Liverpool to lead the game in any way.
