Liverpool can beat Manchester United without Nunez because if we compare two clubs, Manchester United are in troubles, not Liverpool. Liverpool did not win in first two matches so they have their issues too but not too bad like United.
The reality is that both Manchester United and Liverpool are in big big troubles lol; one cannot play out from the back, while one cannot defend their lead; this has made sure that neither of the team has won a game n the premier league this season; Manchester United lost 2, Liverpool drew 2 games in similar version.
In my own opinion, Manchester United have higher chances of winning this tie against Liverpool; either ways, one team will break their winless run
Liverpool seems to be missing a striker from the looks of it. I would have still preferred Firminho than the current situation. He would play like a shadow striker and help build up play up front from the midfield. He had a really good positioning sense that helped Mane and Salah rack up the goals the past few seasons. Even though he's a striker, he was selfless up front. Maybe that's what the coach demanded of him. I think this could turn into another draw, Manchester United vs Liverpool. It is on a tuesday night though, so long way to go for the match.
