Liverpool v Man Utd team news drops as mystery absence explained

All joking aside, it would be incredibly foolish of this Liverpool side to assume that three points is a certainty against an admittedly dire Manchester United side.

Gary Neville perhaps put it best when noting that this current iteration of the Red Devils contained ‘low-quality players lacking confidence’ ahead of a worrying trip to Anfield.

One might reasonably imagine the visitors will have been keeping a very close eye on the Met Office updates as both clubs assessed whether the tie in question would go ahead.
