Liverpool are on their worst run in three seasons with one win in 5 games, 5 points in 4 EPL games, a star man ruled out and a league of players that are yet to find their rhythm after seven league games, Jurgen Klopp’s men will walk into tomorrow’s match as a group of underdogs as they prepare to take on one of the most lethal teams in the league so far.

Jose Mourinho is most likely to use his regular 4-2-3-1 formation. His starting players should include: David De Gea- Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia- Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic- Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Henrik Mkhitaryan- Romelu Lukaku.
