Xherdan Shaqiri starts Liverpool against Manchester United on Super Sunday, and Jordan Henderson joins Fabinho as central defender.
Shaqiri starts for the first time in the Premier League with Liverpool since December 2019, alongside Thiago and Gini Wijnaldum in midfield.
Jurgen Klopp also opts for the same center-back partnership that lost 1-0 at Southampton in Liverpool’s final Premier League game, with young center-backs Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips on the bench. Joel Matip is not fit enough for the team.
Midfielder Naby Keita remains sidelined by a muscle problem that has kept him out since December 19.
by United manchester, Anthony Martial starts after concerns about his fitness, while Victor Lindelof returns as central defender to teammate Harry Maguire.
They make three changes since a 1-0 win at Burnley when Fred and Scott McTominay enter for Edinson Cavani and Nemanja Matic.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Henderson, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Shaqiri, Salah, Mane, Firmino
Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Origi, R Williams, Phillips, N. Williams
Man Utd: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, McTominay, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial
Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Cavani, Mata, Greenwood, Telles, Matic, Van de Beek, Tuanzebe
Klopp names ultra attacking team
Adam Bate from Sky Sports:
“That’s an offensive lineup that Jurgen Klopp has named. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in the back with Thiago in midfield already makes Liverpool look more expansive, albeit a little more vulnerable as well, but it’s the inclusion of Xherdan. Shaqiri what makes the message.
“Shaqiri hasn’t started a Premier League match for over a year. It’s a dramatic decision in a match of this magnitude and suggests that Klopp really wants to attack Manchester United. He’s backing his players to create better opportunities if he can. open this game. “

Jones Knows prediction
Big game alert.
In situations like this, trying not to get carried away by the pre-match fuss when it comes to finding smart betting angles is key. This has the stamp of being a cautious matter.
Liverpool have the best home record in the Premier League this season, and are undefeated in their last 67 league games at Anfield, while Man Utd has the best away record in the division. So what happens when an immovable object meets a force of nature? Deadlock, that is.
Surely “don’t lose” will be the message rather than doing everything possible to win it for both teams, especially in the Manchester United dressing room. A draw will be a great result for them. If the game reaches 60-65 minutes and everything fits, we could see a repetition of what happened in Man City vs Liverpool, where both were happy with one point. I will support the giveaway.
However, there is value elsewhere. One area of soccer betting that I have found quite profitable in recent years is the card markets. Statistics will tell you that Scott McTominay has yet to be booked this season, but has committed 22 fouls, averaging more than 2.2 fouls every 90 minutes. Unsurprisingly, he has committed the most fouls without being cautioned by any current Premier League player this season. If it extends to last season, he now has a streak of 31 cardless fouls since he was booked after 24 seconds on Boxing Day in 2019 against Newcastle, which is the fastest reserve since Opta began collecting data in 2006.
He will undoubtedly be tasked with breaking Liverpool’s game in midfield this weekend in what is likely to be a nasty encounter. Liverpool always have a lot of physique and strength in their midfield and 12 rival central midfielders have been booked against Liverpool in their last 14 Premier League matches. On 1/12 McTominay deserves an interest to have it loaded first, or those who can support short support prices in this market should look to 10/23 for it to load anytime.
JONES KNOWS PREDICTIONS: 1-1 (6/1 with Sky Bet)
ALSO LOOK FOR: Scott McTominay to collect the first card (12/1 with Sky Bet)
