Man United vs Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday marks the 242nd meeting between the two.
Man United team news
Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans both came off injured against Chelsea, suggesting they’re both now major doubts for Sunday’s grudge game.
After picking up an injury against Chelsea, Jonny Evans is a doubt for Man United vs Liverpool.
Jonny Evans was substituted against Chelsea after suffering a knock.
United’s defensive problems get worse with Victor Lindelof (hamstring), Luke Shaw (muscle strain), Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Tyrell Malacia (knee) all ruled out.
Anthony Martial (groin) and backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir (muscle strain) join the others on the treatment table.
Possible XI: Andre Onana, Aaron Wan–Bissaka, Willy Kambwala, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund
Liverpool team news
Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Alisson (thigh), Trent Alexander–Arnold (knee) are not expected to make their returns until next week, suggesting they may not be available in time to face United.
Joel Matip (knee), Thiago Alcantara (muscle strain) and Ben Doak (knee) are also ruled out with Wataru Endo a doubt after the midfielder picked up a knock during the Reds’ 2-1 win against Brighton last weekend. The Japanese midfielder was rested last time out so could make his return on the weekend though.
Wataru Endo could play against Man United after being rested earlier in the week.
There is some good news though — despite hurting his knee during Thursday’s 3-1 win over Sheffield United, Ibrahimia Konate is expected to feature against Man United. Jurgen Klopp confirmed the defender is fit and well during his post-match press conference.
“Nobody got injured as far as I know today,” the German told reporters. “so recovery started already. We recover and go again.”
Possible XI: Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley, Ibrahimia Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mo Salah, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez.
