Manchester United will face Liverpool in one of the most important games of the season on Sunday. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his enthusiasm for such games, claiming that football can serve as an escape from reality during such games.
Despite Liverpool’s previous success, Manchester United is the current favorite to win. With a recent loss to Real Madrid, Liverpool has struggled to find their footing this season, but they have the ability to win consistently if they can gain momentum. Manchester United has a game in hand against Arsenal and Manchester City, and a win against Liverpool could move them within three points of the top spot.

While Liverpool has a strong record against Manchester United, the last United player to score at Anfield was Jesse Lingard in 2018. Bobby Firmino, who will leave Liverpool after eight years, has been dubbed a Liverpool legend by Klopp. Firmino has scored 107 goals and 71 assists in 353 appearances as part of the team’s iconic front three, alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
Firmino’s departure heralds the end of an era for Liverpool, as Mane and Firmino will have departed. Firmino sacrificed some of his game to allow Mane and Salah to lead the line and score the majority of the goals, but he was still an important part of the team’s success. Liverpool will undoubtedly suffer a significant loss as a result of his departure.
The match between Manchester United and Liverpool is expected to be exciting and highly anticipated, with the entire world watching. While Manchester United is the odds-on favorite, Liverpool has the ability to turn things around and secure a much-needed victory. This match is sure to be exciting for football fans everywhere, regardless of the outcome.
