In focus.
The two best forwards in the Premier League will go head to head on Sunday. Although Liverpool are favorites, Cristiano Ronaldo is capable of anything. The “ageless” Portuguese scored the winner against Atalanta in midweek. If Ronaldo is in form, no one can rule Manchester United out of anything.
This match is also pivotal for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He got the team going in the second half of the match against Atalanta, starting well against Liverpool will be key.
A win for Manchester United will revive their Premier League campaign while Liverpool can close down Chelsea at the top with a win at Old Trafford. It promises to be a fantastic watch.
