Liverpool are looking to deepen the wounds of their traditional rivals and their northern rivals Manchester United when they host them today in the most important face of the 17th stage of the England Football Championship. At Enfield, attention will be focused on Liverpool and Manchester United, who are keen to keep up with Man City and reach the final round of the Champions League after a 1-0 win at Napoli.
However, the numbers are in favor of United. Liverpool's three-pointers, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Fermentino and Senegalese Sadeo Manet, did not score a decisive pass against the Red Devils in 855 minutes.
Since 2013, Liverpool have not been able to beat Manchester United in the Premier League, and have barely scored a few goals in the last eight games. They won in the first two matches of Manchester United 2-1 and 3-0, and in 3-1 3 to Liverpool and Benitek, 1 - 0, and in the fifth draw a negative, and in the sixth recorded Milner in the draw 1-1, and the seventh draw a negative, while in the eighth season last, Liverpool lost 1-2, and scored defender Bailey.
United have not lost to Liverpool in the last eight meetings between the two teams, and their last loss comes to September 2013 when Daniel Staridge scored the only goal, but supporters of the former will be in the stands of Anfield and are apprehensive of a heavy loss this time.
United know that a new loss this season will make them 11 points away from fourth place, the last of the Champions League qualifying places if the other results are in their favor.
If United scored four goals against Fulham last week at home, they face a team that have conceded only one goal at home this season.
But coach Jose Mourinho said his team could make a positive comeback. "We know we are facing a team at the summit, but we have the ability to achieve a positive outcome despite the problems we are experiencing," said Jose Mourinho, coach of the Red Devils. We'll go there with a team that can fight to win. "
Tottenham, meanwhile, have taken a serious side in the title struggle, only three points behind Liverpool, and have played a light match against Burnley, one of the tail teams in the league and won 1-0.
Argentine coach Maurizio Buccitino also managed to salvage a 1-1 draw at Barcelona's Camp Nou to secure a place in the final of the Champions League on Tuesday.
The last few days have seen several reports in English and Spanish newspapers linking the name of Buccitino to move to the training of Manchester United and Real Madrid at the end of the season.
"It's no coincidence that Buccetino is in charge of training Manchester United or Real Madrid," said Danny Rose, the back of Tottenham Hotspur. He deserves it because what he has done in the past four or five years is truly amazing. He changed the way we think about playing and others look at us from outside. "
In the last eight games for Liverpool and Manchester United in the league, the demons won 4 matches and a draw in the same.
