After winning the Carabao Cup and their first crown of the season, Liverpool is looking for more glory. They finished in the top eight in the Europa League and are also battling for the top spot in the Premier League. And they are still in the FA Cup, where they face Manchester United.
Despite a string of injuries, the team has been fighting with all its might, including young players. The team is still missing a number of key players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the injured are gradually beginning to return to the lineup, and morale is only getting stronger as the team heads into the second half of the season.
Of all the FA Cup quarterfinals, the match at home to Manchester United is the one that will draw the most attention.
Spanish defender Jose Enrique, who played for Newcastle and Liverpool when he was a player, looks back on the relationship between the two sides during his playing days, but predicts a big win for Liverpool.
“I don’t fancy Manchester United to get a result on Sunday,”
“Obviously when I was at Liverpool I didn’t get to experience them being this superior to Manchester United – it was more of a 50/50 when I played and sometimes United were the better team. This is still a difficult game for Liverpool, but I really think they are going to win.”
“Manchester United are actually playing worse at Old Trafford than when they play away from home – it’s not the same as it used to be when I was playing. I’d love Liverpool to pick up a really big win here – I’m going to go with 5-0 to them.”
“They’re scoring so many goals at the moment and their attack is as good as it’s been all season. I’d love a big result like that – firstly for Liverpool but also for Jurgen Klopp.”
