An emergency classic for Manchester United at the home of leader Liverpool

Manchester United, who were eliminated from all European competition on Tuesday, do not have time to lick their wounds, as on Sunday they will visit Liverpool, leader of the Premier League on matchday 17.

On the last date they were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford against Spanish Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth. After that humiliating defeat on their home field, United are sixth, ten points behind leaders Liverpool, whom they visit on Sunday in a stadium hostile to the Mancunians.

The last Premier League classic at Anfield ended with a 7-0 win by Liverpool, a heavy result that deepened a negative series in the visits to the Reds-United did not win in their home fiefdom. great rival since January 2016.

Erik ten Hag, without his captain Bruno Fernandes, who is suspended, needs to break that streak to redirect a season that could become very long on the red side of Manchester if he also drops out of the fight for the title and the European places.
On the sky blue side of the cotton city, Manchester City will host Crystal Palace on Saturday before heading to the Club World Cup. With 33 points, the citizens will look for a victory before the tournament in Saudi Arabia, to put pressure on the podium.

The rest of the Premier

Further down, Newcastle, which like Manchester United finished last in its Champions group and, therefore, was eliminated from all European competition, receives a Fulham on a goal streak, after dealing a hand to West Ham and Nottingham Forest in the last two dates. City Ground, home of Forest, will open the day on Friday with the reception of Tottenham, which ended its negative streak last day, something that Chelsea will try on Saturday at the reception of bottom team Sheffield United.
