The last three encounters between these sides have ended in draws and there is the likelihood that on Saturday, the teams will not be separated.
Though there is a big caveat – Sadio Mane is injured and Liverpool have been at their most vulnerable when the Senegalese forward has been absent. Without Mane, Liverpool’s winning percentage drops drastically from 61% to 43%. United have their own injury worries with Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba out but Romelu Lukakau will be aiming to become the first man to score eight goals in the first eight EPL games. No matter the XI that is thrown on by Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho, you kind of suspect the first goal on Saturday would determine the winner.
Current Form: Liverpool [D-D-W-L-D]; Man. Utd [W-W-W-W-W]
