Jose Mourinho’s issue is clear. He doesn’t know his best team. At Chelsea, he chose between 13/14 men – often keeping the same XI playing week in week out. At United, he faces the task of finding his best XI between 20+ players to choose from. Does Rooney start? Who plays on the wings? Where is Pogba’s best position? One thing is for sure, after the start United had against City last month – Morinho HAS to get his line-up absolutely spot on tonight.

So who starts for the Red Devils? Reports circulating this morning state that Rooney will once again be dropped for the game, with Mourinho opting for Mata instead. We all know Mata loves playing against Liverpool, especially at Anfield, but is Rooney’s presence too much to ignore? Surely he must play a part.

We see this game ending in a draw as Liverpool are in good form and United will likely take a point and move onto their game against Chelsea next weekend at Stamford Bridge.

Here’s how we predict United will line-up against Liverpool:

De Gea

Valencia – Bailly – Smalling – Blind

Herrera – Pogba

Mkhitaryan – Mata – Martial

Ibrahimovic
