Through 22 games this season Liverpool have dropped points only once. And that was at the hands of Olé Gunnar-Soljkaer’s men back on October 20 with a 1-1 draw. But this time there would be no disappointment. No more blemishes in this record-breaking title run. The Reds took all three points and extend their winning streak.
There were no surprises in the lineup from Jurgen Klopp as the side had over a week to rest after beating Tottenham Hotspur in North London last weekend.
There’s nothing better than beating Manchester United. But doing so while cementing us to a position that is (almost certainly) going to yield a title is incredible.
Here are all the Liverpool player ratings v Manchester United:
Goalkeeper
Alisson. 8. Another game, another clean sheet. He now has seven on the season. A few times in the second half, Alisson was called into action a few times as United tried to get back into the match. But with a few big hands from Alisson, the to Liverpool’s goal was shut. With four saves and picking up the assists on Salah’s goal, he was a huge difference-maker for Liverpool. Again.. .
