1) Start the game on the front foot

This is easier said than done, but keeping the Anfield crowd quiet for the opening 20 to 30 minutes can help turn things in the away team’s favour.

To do this, though, you have to be brave on the ball and ensure you control possession.


United don’t need to create chances, but if they can gain territory and keep their opponents away from their goal in the opening stages of the match, it will give them a great platform to build from.
