TABLE: 1.Liverpool 61 points. 2.Manchester city 47 points. 3.Leicester 45 points. 4.Chelsea 39 points 5.Manchester United 34 points* Note: Manchester United 34 points 5 points behind Chelsea in 4th place. Losing to Liverpool, would dent United finishing 4th.
Manchester United will almost certainly be missing another key player when they visit Liverpool in the Premier League later this month. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was already resigned to being without midfield duo Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay for the trip to Anfield on Sunday week. But now it has emerged centre-back Harry Maguire will also facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a torn hip muscle.
Craig Pawson to take charge of #LFC's visit from Manchester United this Sunday. VAR will be John Aldridge
@Paulpowersleftfoot . You are always sarcastic, hope you are enjoying the gap. 1.Liverpool played 21 points 61 2 Manchester city 22 points 47 14 points also someone with a game in hand. I am enjoying this.
It really irritates me that despite the fact that they've been (relatively speaking) crap for several years now, we still seem to hold them in too high a regard - players and some fans alike. So many times recently they've been there for the taking and we've been too tentative. We are by far the better side currently, and if we play like we believe that, we should beat them comfortably.
Was just about to say something similar. Play the team in front of us, and not the occasion. Easier said than done of course but there is a big gulf between the sides. No excuses for not winning. I don’t want to see the cowardly display at old Trafford.
I don't think it was cowardly, I think it was nerves and a bit of trying too hard. How many times in that game did we try and switch the play and just get the ball wrong? We hit those passes in our sleep normally but it just didn't happen for us. We'll be confident at home but still have to deal with them being up for the occasion.
