I don't expect any surprise to be made by Manchester United in their next game in the league. Because there is a huge gap between Liverpool and Manchester United right now. Liverpool are a title contender and started the season much better than the previous season. Manchester United are quite behind them in performance and in points as well.
There is a big weakness in Manchester United defense at the moment. Even their most qualified defenders are playing badly such as Varane and Casemiro. Martinez is still injured as far as I know. We must be all remembering what Liverpool did to them at Anfield in the previous season. I expect Liverpool to win comfortably here.
We can not start assuming the winner of the game because this is football and we have watched how the Red Devils play effectively mostly against elite clubs, let's not underrate them for now. Manchester United defendlines is not in good shape, alot of things going pretty rough for the club this season. Erik Ten Hag is available and he will try the best to reach the demands and big tasks. United faces Liverpool this weekend, a tough game for them and another test for Erik Ten Hag to count Liverpool as one of the big team to win this season.
Of course, once they have the top spot, Jurgen Klopp's army will not want to let go. Therefore, they will be determined to defeat Man United at home to maintain the number 1 position. Anfield is a stadium that can help Liverpool fight, and Man United has felt that in the past. Man United's injury list extended further when Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw suffered pain after the loss to Bayern. Failure will be inevitable for them. It is likely that coach Ten Hag will be forced to use young star Kobbie Mainoo in the big battle at Anfield.
I also predict that other strong teams like Tottenham, Man City, or Arsenal will have victories against weaker opponents like Nottingham, Crystal Palace, and Brighton.
It seems that Arsenal have to be careful with Brighton, because they just won the Europa League match against Marseille in the Groub phase, even though in the previous match Brighton were held to a draw by Burnley with a score of 1-1, that doesn't mean that Brighton doesn't want to get points in the match against Arsenal. , because last week Arsenal were beaten by Aston Villa and were also held to a draw by PSV in the Champions League, this indicates that Arsenal is not doing well. Most likely, this could affect the stamina of Arsenal's players because Arsenal has a very busy match schedule.
