Liverpool vs Man Utd: Under-fire Ten Hag faces Klopp's men in huge Prem matchIf United play like they did last season it could cost Ten Hag his job Published: 22:28, 16 Dec 2023Updated: 22:33, 16 Dec 2023TIME is ticking for Erik ten Hag as his Manchester United side have been massively underperforming - and their next assignment is Liverpool at Anfield. The Red Devils were embarrassed by bottom-half Bournemouth last weekend after being thrashed 3-0 in front of their home fans.
“Yes, the 7-0 we knew that on the day it was a freak result, that happens once in a life and if it helps anybody for the next game, it’s the team who lost 7-0 not the team who won 7-0, ” Klopp said. “That’s another thing. If you take it all out of consideration, we just play a football game against the rival, the historical rival of Liverpool FC at home at Anfield. “That in itself should make it a special game, that’s what I want to see from us, a special game.
Really understand the situation and give your all, that’s all I need. ” Ten Hag has ruled Maguire out and responded to a question asking if he felt he was under pressure. He replied: "I'm focussing on the process, making the team better and that's my concern. That's what I'm focussing on, the right thing, and that's the team. There is no concern because I'm here to win and I have to make the team play better.
Salah now has 150 Premier League goals to his name and his 12 goals against United is his highest tally against a single team across his entire career. Potential Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Diaz. Manchester United: Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw both picked up injuries against Bayern although Ten Hag expects Shaw and the ill Marcus Rashford to make it for this one. Maguire is out along with Anthony Martial, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, Amad Diallo, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Tyrell Malacia.

The Reds benefitted from Aston Villa's win over Arsenal at the summit and now lead the Gunners by one point and the Villans by two so there is a possibility that Klopp's side will be playing catchup by the time this one kicks off. A loss to Union SG in midweek was not damaging given that a last 16 berth in the UEFA Europa League was already locked in while it is seven EPL wins on the bounce for Liverpool at Anfield. Not exactly welcoming reading for United who lurch from crisis to crisis at present and are in a terrible state following their European adventure coming to an end just days after a chastening loss at home to Bournemouth. If there is a positive, perhaps it is that United do not have to face Old Trafford for this one given the anger generated by the latest turn of events.

Good is not good enough, we are inconsistent and I have to work on how the team will play. " On the 7-0 to Liverpool in their last visit to Anfield, he said: "No [not worried]. We will put out a team that can challenge and we'll prepare them in the best way we can. We are confident we can put out a team that can win. "I haven't seen last season we were scared there. It was a bad experience, but it's not similar, you start again. Last year, the first half we played very decent and we got hammered just after half-time, then we collapsed.
“It’s the game where you can put everything right. I don’t follow United closely enough to know exactly what’s the problem there. “But I saw Erik became Manager of the Month last month, I saw that they were the team in form result-wise in the last month. “How can it be all wrong? I just don’t understand it.
