Cunha To Start, Mount On The Bench | 3-4-2-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Liverpool | OneFootball

Manchester United will face off against Liverpool at Anfield this Sunday afternoon as they look to earn a good result away from home in the Premier League. The Red Devils managed to secure a solid 2-0 win over Sunderland before the international break, which should give them some confidence ahead of this campaign.

Ruben Amorim will set his men up in a 3-4-2-1 formation once again and is expected to make one change to his starting XI for this game. Matheus Cunha could get a chance to impress from the start of this contest, while Mason Mount makes way for him and drops to the bench.

Defence

Senne Lammens will feature in goal for the Mancunian club after he kept a clean sheet in his last appearance. Amorim could stick with the back three of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated during the 90 minutes.

Harry Maguire will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Bruno Fernandes will anchor the midfield along with Casemiro as they focus on making life difficult for the home team in the middle of the park.

Diogo Dalot will get a chance to shine as the left-sided wide player, while Amad Diallo looks to put his pace to good use on the right flank. Both of them will be instructed to perform their defensive duties well and make some overlapping runs out on the flanks.

Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo will operate as Man United‘s attacking midfielders. Both of them would have to carry most of the creative burden for the Red Devils in the final third.

Patrick Dorgu, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo will be named on the bench as they await their opportunity to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Benjamin Sesko will lead the line for the Mancunian giants up top. He has to find a way to cause a few headaches for the Liverpool centre-backs this weekend.

Joshua Zirkzee will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the Red Devils are in need of a goal by then.
