Either Liverpool will over power us or we see the first Mourinho masterclass at United. We shall see.
Long ball to zlat....long ball from wide areas to zlat....diagonal long balls to zlat. That will be man u all over this game.
We dont look secure at set pieces so utd will prey on that weakness. Neither karius(yet) or migs look comfortable dealing with high balls so expect lots and lots of aerial threat.....its hoof em utd u know!

I expect a lot of diving in the box from you lot, penalties are proving very productive for you's this season so expect a lot more effort being expended in the pursuit of more

If your players foul our players in the box, of course we will get penalties.
I think Liverpool will create a lot of chances, dominate the game but De Gea makes so unbelievable saves. Then 65th min Wayne Rooney strikes a 35 yard strike with a huge deflection and it's a goal. United hold on for a 1-0 win. Rooney once again is labelled world class!
We should really turn them over. I don't rate United very highly. But it could go either way if we're not on the ball. If we play at our best then I don't think they'll be able to cope.
Going by what we've seen till this point, a Liverpool win is most likely. But we have good players and several now (in Rashford, Zlatan and to some extent Martial) that provide us with that X-factor, so we have a real good chance of coming out with something.
And yes set pieces could be decisive!!
Liverpool are in better form than United at present so they will be favourites.
Having said that I have a sneaky suspicion United will be really up for this game and will get the win similar to what we did back in 2015 with that Mata double.
if utd go to attack they will get some joy as lfc do struggle at the back. If they stand off them and try to contain them lfc will walk all over them. utd have the speed to hurt on the counter.as long as they go with quality ball. players like mata, not felaini or rooney ,they can pass through lfcs press and start effective attacks
Game v Liverpool impossible to predict.
Form, injuries etc never seem to come into it
Hoping for a United win
Expecting a Liverpool win
On these games it's true that form goes out the window. Anything can happen and we could thrash United as easily as they could beat us. You just hope your team shows up and you get the points.
Totally agree form goes out the window. All results are possible. Really hard to call but I'd be disappointed if we don't win
Expect a lot of long balls into your half of the field.
Expect fellani to get away with murder.
People mocking Utd for possible long balls but frankly given our defending from aerial balls into the box they'd be mental not to try and take advantage of that! It's not their fault we have a weakness!
It depends on how well Utd defend IMO. If they are diligent and/or Mourinho sets them up ultra-defensively then a result for them is a real possibility.
That said, our form is good, we're scoring lots of goals and confidence is high. Combine that with home advanage and I'm very hopeful of a win. An early goal would really help though in terms of making sure Utd come out of their shell.

I'm very confident we will win.
My main concern is if they score in the first 10 mins. I think that is our most vulnerable time in home games as we are open but haven't yet got into the pressing rhythm. We have seen both Leicester and Hull have space on the counter in this period, but not do anything with it.
As long as we see that opening period out, or better, then I don't think they can cope with us regardless of Mourinho.

Unfortunately it's usually the opposite with Fellaini.
He and Ibrahimović suffer from 'tall man syndrome' - they only have to go near an opposition player and the referee blows for a foul.
Everything points to a pool win. They play better football and their quick Mf should be too much for the clumsy Pogba and co.
But I do think pool may struggle against United long balls and deliveries from wide. That's pretty much where all of United goals come from. If they can cut this of then I would back pool by a couple of goals
If Maureen loses to both City and Liverpool in his first 8 games it will crush him.
Could be 6pts adrift of a top 4 place after this weekend
Uniteds squad is the most expensive in football history, you could have liverpools and bayerns for the same price

The only slightly questionable penalty we've been given is Sturridge's v Leicester, and we were already 4-1 up.
It's what happens when you play exciting, attacking football. I wouldn't expect you to understand, you're not known for your footballing knowledge

That may be the case for Ibra, but don't make excuses for Fellaini, he's just an out and out dirty fecker.
