Jürgen has a difficult Monday ahead of him.

Manchester United last in the standings

– Someone understands what hindered the leaders Manchester United I sign Casemiro a couple of weeks in advance, since I was ready to leave Real Madrid? And now the Brazilian will not help with Liverpool because the management Premier League it doesn’t work on weekends. The way plebeians run after the ball on the weekend. The gentlemen in the billion-dollar office won’t accept documents after 12 noon on a Friday, even when it comes to an application for a game on Monday night.

– August 22 Manchester United already entered the field in the state of the last team Premier League, just 30 years ago. Ferguson lost twice and in the third round he played at home 1: 1 against Ipswich. The first win over Southampton: on Saturday they will meet this opponent, celebrated in the fourth round, and then they waited for a miracle. We know the name of him – Eric Cantona. The winter transfer turned the season upside down. Escaped from captivity in the middle of the table. They became champions after 25 long years of waiting.

– So far, there are no prerequisites for a champion twist. But defeats with a total score of 1: 6 by the organized middle peasants made ten Hag think about defending themselves in a match against a historic enemy. Maguire will most likely be left on the bench, the duet of Martinez and Varane will be put to the test. Fred will play in the middle, Eriksen and Fernandes will try to give smart passes to Sancho, Ronaldo and Rashford. The time has come to replace the young, but there is none. Elanga – raw, Anthony for 100 million euros until the signature. There is no center forward for Ronaldo to play on the wing.

– The team is humiliated by defeats and angry, and in this format there are both unexpected discoveries and new losses. Nothing worked, although the opponents allowed not only Sancho and Ronaldo, but also Dalot to develop attacks before striking. Senor Cristiano usually knocked on the door. Even the central defenders Manchester United in 90% of cases they gave precise passages. But they “brought” goals: they started with two defeats.

– De Gea’s conditions are important. The thaumaturge at the gate will stop Liverpool, who have also started the season Premier League no win. But tactically, only the move to “3-5-2” will be a ten Hag sensation. So also Solskjaer in the season in which they became second Premier League, did not play against Liverpool. The players are not ready for such tasks, the central defenders will not carry the load of the high line. Eric stayed with the setup within the 4-3-3, and also prayers for inspiration from Ronaldo. Players of this level are able to deliver a fabulous match in any mood. That is, if Cristiano does not move to another club, he will take care of it.

Approximate composition Manchester United (4-3-3): De Gea – Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malasia (Shaw) – Fernandes, Fred, Eriksen – Sancho (Elanga), Ronaldo, Rashford.

Liverpool gave Guardiola a huge advantage

– Double servants Premier League shared a point. You can find out how Liverpool started with three defeats in 1905, only to become the English champion. A similar example in the 1980s was a draw and a defeat, and then a title. But it’s best not to forget that Premier League also two draws at the beginning: a question for the season without “gold”. For only thirty years Manchester United tripped three times and then was the first to cross the finish line. Nobody else can do it.

– Unlike their unfortunate colleagues, Liverpool stumbled unexpectedly. Fulham’s Mitrovic baffled Alisson twice and Crystal Palace set the game well. Zaha implemented a counterattack and Nunez remembered the character. It seemed that in Europe he would not follow in Suarez’s footsteps, but he tried his hand at Andersen and left Liverpool in the minority. They took a tie, there wasn’t enough luck for more.

– Liverpool’s third straight mistake will give Manchester City the title. Even though Klopp beat Guardiola in the Super Cup, the command entered Premier League allows you to lose to a competitor, but stay higher in the rankings. Even a draw at Old Trafford is not good for the guests, especially considering the state Manchester United. Furthermore, Liverpool have problems with the team and the “devils” have nowhere to retire, they have been driven out of hell for negligence.

– Nunes suspended, Matip, Konate, Jota, Thiago, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jones are treated. Only Keita and Firmino returned. Bobby will play, but without Konate, Thiago and Nunez, the team loses three people you expect in the optimal line-up for the new season. Elliott is a good guy, Gomez is experienced, but there are too many defeats. And an irreplaceable one, because without Mane, Liverpool have lost an experienced champion.

– Liverpool is a team that has been included in the scheme, many roles are selected based on the characteristics of the players. Salah loves goals, he gets positions to score. Henderson was not good in the defensive zone, Fabinho’s arrival changed everything. Van Dijk is a man’s stance, even though Virgil likes to troll legends Premier League the absence in the league of Henry, Drogba, Shearer and company. The actions of the Liverpool side are works of art. Klopp is definitely a favorite, although remember that Manchester United Solskjaer played better with a number of favorites than with the middle peasants.

Estimated composition of Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson – Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson – Salah, Firmino, David Luiz.

Sokker.ru forecasts: if Klopp’s gang takes out the team of ten witches, no one will be surprised. But if the Reds haven’t impressed Fulham and Crystal Palace, then where’s the guarantee Manchester United afraid of them? Guests nowhere to retreat and Liverpool will be under pressure to win away. We bet on Klopp’s victory, but not necessarily on the simple and devastating one, as many imagine.
