Manchester United take on Liverpool in the FA Cup this Sunday and the Red Devils will look to send their rivals crashing out of the competition with a win at home. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have all the momentum heading into Sunday’s game and they will be the favourites to win here.

The Red Devils have failed to beat Liverpool in their last six meetings and they will fancy their chances of breaking that streak this week. The home side are unbeaten in five of their last six matc...
Jordan Henderson felt Liverpool were the “better team” against Manchester United, but has admitted that his side have allowed their standards to slip in recent weeks. Liverpool welcomed United to Anfield on Sunday knowing that they could return to the top of the Premier League standings with a victory. However, confidence within the Reds’ camp wasn’t at its highest point after uninspired draws against West Brom and Newcastle and a dismal defeat away at Southampton, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all struggling for form in the final third. Unfortunately, the talismanic front three were quiet once again as Jurgen Klopp saw his team struggle to break down a well organised United outfit in a 0-0 draw. Liverpool had No.1 goalkeeper Alisson to thank for keeping them in the ga...
Liverpool will face Manchester United in Sunday’s must-win title clash at Anfield in the Premier League and Jurgen Klopp’s team selection largely depends on the fitness of Joel Matip. The Premier League champions, who are on a 67-game unbeaten run at Anfield, find themselves third in the league table, but they can regain the top spot with a win against the Red Devils. A defeat here will not only see United stretching the gap to a healthy six points, but the psychological blow could also have a detrimental effect going into the second half of the season. The Reds are heading into this game on the back of a 4-1 win against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, but they need to get back to winning ways in the Premier League. Ahead of the match, Jurgen Klopp insisted that he hasn’t decided whether ...
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Udinese midfielder Rodrigo de Paul for the second time this month. We recently covered a report from England linking the player with a move to Anfield and now Corriere dello Sport have picked up on those claims as well.
