1 win in 13 games! Can Liverpool really beat Manchester United at Old Trafford?


Since 2009, Liverpool have succeeded in beating Manchester Untied just once in 11 meetings.. The Red devils have won 9 games, drawn 3 and lost once back in 2009. 



Head to head, Manchester United have the better advantage against Liverpool having scored 26 goals as agaisnt Liverpool's 8 at Old Trafford. They've kept more clean sheets {5}, came back from a losing position {4} and scored more than 3 or more goals {4}. 

Statistically, Manchester Untied have a better chance of beating Liverpool at the moment than the reverse. 

Why? United have everything riding on this game. They've to win to save Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's job and secondly must win not to drop into the relegation zone. 

A win for United is a must or its going to end catastrophic for Solskjaer and his troops. 

Liverpool meanwhile can leave with a defeat or draw but Klopp would want more. He will want his team to keep the momentum going and equal Manchester City's 18 match winning streak. 

The Reds are without doubt the strongest team in the Premier League and with the return of Alisson Becker and Joel Matip coupled with Mohamed Salah's quick recovery, Liverpool will be too strong for United and that is a fact.

Gundogan reveals 2 games Manchester City must win OR lose the Premier League title to Liverpool

IIkay Gundogan still believes Manchester City have a big chance to win the Premier League title but must win two games.  City will play Liverpool twice at the Eithad Stadium and Anfield and a victory in both matches will certainly throw Jurgen Klopp's men off balance.  Its a known fact that Liverpool have won their matches this season and now eight points clear of City after eight games.  But Gundogan still has faith that Liverpool will drop points when the games become intense.  "The situation is not a new one for us - we were seven points behind in January of last season, which is a house number, a big gap", Gundogan said after scoring a brace for Germany in a 3-0 win over Estonia.  "But we play against Liverpool twice more, we have the direct duels and we can cut the gap to two points. Everything is still on", Gundogan told Sky Sports.  Manchester City will play Liverpool on November 10 and return fixture will be played on April 4th at Etihad ...

Why Adrian feels he should be Liverpool's no. 1 and not Alisson Becker

For the first time in 10 years, Liverpool have two talented goalkeepers going to head to head for a starting spot.  The first is Alisson Becker who is currently injured after picking up a calf injury in Liverpool's first match of the season. But before his injury, Alisson proved he is a world class keeper by leading Liverpool to their sixth Champions League.  He is the only goalkeeper in history who succeeded in winning the Champions League, Premier League and Copa America best goalkeeper.  He is also UEFA Best Goalkeeper and FIFA World Best Goalkeeper. Alisson is a modern day shot-stopper who combines athleticism with good reflexes, accurate passing and an incredible footwork.  But his injury has paved the way for another to emerge from shadow into the spot light.  Adrain is finally fulfilling his talent and developing quickly into one of world's finest goalkeepers.  With Liverpool, he has won his first ever trophy as a player by keeping Chels...

Chamberlian is on fire and 5 things we learnt as Liverpool thrash Genk 4-1

Liverpool have beaten Genk 4-1 to further underline their intentions this season. The Reds will not exit the competition in the group stage but rather., they will attempt to retain the Champions League just like Real Madrid did before.  Man of the match will certainly go to Oxlade Chamberlian who registered his first Champions League goal in just two minutes of play before scoring what will go down as the best Champions League goal of the season.. His 35-yard spinning lob took everyone by surprising including Genk's keeper who stood still as the ball flown past him and into the net.  Those two goals opened the floodgate for Sadio Mane to score a lob before Mohamed Salah rounded up the party. But Genk did get a consolation goal through Stephan Odey.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Xaby Keita  and Oxlade Chamberlian deserve to start against Tottenham Hotspur-  For the first time this season, Liverpool moved the ball with lots of creat...

Fabinho could miss Manchester City clash: So should Liverpool rest him against Aston Villa?

Fabinho might have struggled for 5-6 months to make Liverpool's first team when he first arrived but now, he is one of those names Jurgen Klopp never omits in the first team..  He plays every game nowadays and makes key contributions to the team's game plan. His tackles, interceptions and dynamism remains one of the key reasons Liverpool are yet to lose a Premier League game this season.  But, the Brazilian tackles haven't been always good and have resulted to four yellow cards. If he picks up another against Aston Villa he will miss Liverpool's title deciding clash against Manchester City at Anfield.  No disrespect to Aston Villa, they're a good team but Liverpool don't really need Fabinho in the team to win.. Its going to tough no doubt about that, but the likes of Jordan Henderson and James Milner can play in his position and Liverpool will still win.  So should Liverpool play him or rest for the penultimate clash with Manchester City?

Finally, Gareth Bale ruins Real Madrid legendary status with stupid flag

Who in the world advised Gareth Bale to carry a banner inscribed: "Wales. Golf. Madrid", minutes after the nation qualified for the 2020 Euros.  Bale's decision was ill-advised and now he never be regarded in the same breath as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Marcelo or even Isco. He disrespected the club that gave him all he has and made him who is today.  The trophies {13 titles including 4 Champions League and 4 FIFA World Club Cup}, the money {over $120m in wages} and the wide world appeal that attracted endorsement deals to him.  No doubt, the 32-year-old have created unbelievable memories like that sensational winning goal against Barcelona in 2013 Copa Del Rey, the overhead kick and long range stunner against Liverpool to win Madrid their 13th Champions League trophy.  But in-spite of those memorable moments, Bale has spent 2 years out of his 6 years at Madrid in the treatment table. He is always injured and hardly fit to play games.  His sa...

Bernando Silva reveals what two interesting things about Liverpool

Manchester City star Bernando Silva has praised Liverpool's incredible display and their ability to see out game without a fuss. Silva did get City's consolation goal but he wasn't in the mood to talk about the penalty controversy but rather focused on how Liverpool play, their attacking style and atmosphere in Anfield.  Liverpool are nine points clear of City and 8 points clear of second placed team- Leicester City.  Asked first about the penalty controvers and later about the match, Bernando said:  "I have not seen it yet. You guys should analyse it not me. If i speak i will be in trouble. I don't want to speak. I have not watched it", a defiant Silva replied.  "I think we played one of the best sides in the world, it's never easy in a stadium like Anfield. We had started better than them when we conceded the first goal. First counter, first goal, you cannot give them an inch, because if you do they will take it and score goals".  ...

Revealed: Why PSG will sell Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool and not Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain Sporting director Leonardo has slammed Zinedine Zidane assertion that Kylian Mbappe has always wanted to move to Real Madrid.  Zidane revealed during a press conference that he spoke with Mbappe and the french man dreams of playing at the prestigious Estadio Santiago Bernebeu.  But such statement has angered PSG chiefs especially Leornado who feels Zidane has really gone off track with such statement. "Honestly, it's a bit irritating, it's annoying, it's not the first time this has happened", Leonardo angrily told reporters.  "I think that now is not the time to talk about this. He is a player who has two-and-a-half years left on his contract with us, so to talk about what he wants, his 'dream', every time.. If we can just stop this, pause this talk.  "Kylian is a very important player for us. Now is not the time to destablise him".  Just as Barcelona failed to resign Neymar, Real Madrid could face similar pr...

Jermaine Jenas: Christian Eriksen will consider joining Liverpool in the summer

Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas is urging Christian Eriksen not to leave Spurs in hurry as the January transfer window draws closer.  Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will want to sell him to this January to realise some cash but Jenas feels it will be wise for him to stay until the end of the season.  Eriksen will be out of contract in the summer and will be free to join Europe's biggest club including Liverpool whose manager -Jurgen Klopp- is a huge admirer of the dane.   "I think the club were happy to let him leave but they just didn't get the figure that they wanted or Christian didn't get the club that he wanted", Jenas told The Mirror.  "If i was Eriksen and the bid didn't come in that i wanted to come in, i would sit tight, i wouldn't rush. Not only can i move for free in the summer, but that brings in Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, all the big hitters, Man Utd, even Liverpool.  "On top of that you have the huge windfall of w...
