Liverpool x Manchester United: where to watch it, lineups and refereeing

On the one hand, the Reds try to maintain the leadership of the Premier League, while the Red Devils try to place themselves in the G4

After the 17th round of the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester United will face each other this Sunday (17th), at 1.30pm (Brasilia time), at Anfield Road. On the one hand, the hosts try to maintain their lead in the competition to top the table in the final stage of the first round. On the other hand, the Red Devils want to shorten the distance towards the G4 of the championship.

With 37 points, the Reds are coming off a defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League, but remain strong at the top of the Premier League. United, in turn, have 27 points and currently occupy sixth place, 7 points behind rival Manchester City, who are in fourth place. The visitors were also defeated in the Champions League in midweek, 1-0 against Bayern Munich.

Where to look

The match on Sunday (17th) will be broadcast on ESPN and Star+ (streaming).

How Liverpool arrive

Full of energy, the Reds arrive at the classic with high morale thanks to an 11-match unbeaten run in the national competition. After all, the last defeat was that of Tottenham, 2-1, in September. In the Europa League, Klopp’s men qualified comfortably and emerged favourites.

In fact, in Sunday’s match (17th), the coach will have to do without the Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and the Portuguese striker Diogo Jota, both injured.

How Manchester United arrives

The Red Devils want revenge for last season’s 7-0 defeat and remain firmly in the G4’s wake. However, the team is going through a bad phase and was even excluded from the Europa League, scoring just four goals in group A of the Champions League.

Furthermore, for this Sunday’s duel (17), coach Erik ten Hag has several problems. These include Maguire, Rashford, Martial, Mason Mount and Eriksen, who are in doubt. Finally, Bruno Fernandes, the team’s best player, is suspended for three yellow cards.
