Manchester United vs Liverpool: 3 reasons why the Man Utd could beat Liverpool at old Trafford this weekend

Liverpool’s blunt 3

Liverpool have transformed from a talented yet raw side into European conquerors. The trio of Sadio Mane, Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino have played a major role in that transformation. Their effectiveness together has helped Liverpool run down every defence put in front of them.

Unlike their most sides, Liverpool’s front 3 have been very productive together, irrespective of the opponents in front of them. In fact, the 3 have one of the best numbers against the top 6 in the Premier League.

However, when it comes to Manchester United, the trio lose their edge. Their numbers display their bluntness against their greatest rivals. Despite notching up impressive numbers together, they share their managers woeful record against United.

Sadio Mane scored a goal last season in Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Anfield last season. He has never scored a goal against them since. Salah and Firmino have failed to find the back of the net even once with Salah failing to do so even during his record-breaking season.

If Manchester United can keep the trio quiet during the match vs Liverpool, there’s every chance that Jurgen Klopp’s side could be handed their first loss of the league this season.
