LIVERPOOL, Sporting Alert – Jose Mourinho has made changes to his starting line-up for Manchester United’s trip to Liverpool, but Wayne Rooney stays on the bench.

Liverpool v Manchester United: How To Watch Live | Livescores at www.livescore.com | Live Blogging

The Manchester United boss made two adjustments to the side that drew 1-1 with Stoke City and both of them come in midfield.

There are no places for captain Rooney and playmaker Juan Mata, but Mourinho has recalled Marouane Fellaini and handed Ashley Young his first start of the new English Premier League season.

In fact, Young is making his first start in the league since January and it comes as a huge surprise to many here at Anfield.

Liverpool, in the meantime, have been pushed into making two changes because of injuries.

Those missing from the starting line-up today are Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana.

Dutchman Wijnaldum has been ruled out with a hamstring problem, but Englishman Lallana is fit enough for the bench.

Starting in the midfield is Emre Can, who will sit alongside captain Jordan Henderson, who is on great form, while Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino all start in attack roles.

Loris Karius keeps his place in goal, with Simon Mignolet on the bench.

Luke Shaw is fit again, but Daley Blind starts as the left-back, with Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling also starting in the backline.

Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Ander Herrera and Zlatan Ibrahimovic also start.

Frenchmen Anthony Martial and Morgan Schneiderlin both picked up injuries in training on Saturday and were not named in the squad.

Liverpool v Manchester United: How To Watch Live

by Leave a Comment

LIVERPOOL, Sporting Alert – How to watch today’s English Premier League clash between rivals Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield.

Kick-off time for this matchup is 3:00pm ET and there are plenty of television and streaming platforms available to follow every second of this contest.

NBC Sports Live and NBCSN are the platforms streaming the game for the viewers in the USA, while Sky Sports 1/HD UK, BBC Radio 5 Live, TalkSport Radio MUTV Online and LFCTV GO are providing coverage live for viewers in the UK.

Monday’s game will close out the Week 8 fixtures and both teams will be hunting a win as they seek to trim the gap between them and the early leaders in the EPL table standings.

A win for Liverpool would see Jurgen Klopp’s side joining Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the league standings on 19 points.

If Jose Mourinho’s side takes all three points on Monday, it will join the Reds on 16 points in fourth place.

Base on current form, Liverpool head into the clash as the favourite to beat Manchester United, but Mourinho wants his side to play without fear.

The Portuguese coach has won eight of his 12 English Premier League battles with Liverpool during his two stints in charge of Chelsea, with two ending in draws and two in defeats.

“We will try to win, that is for sure,” he told www.manutd.com. “When they have the ball we have to defend and when we have the ball we have to attack.”

Liverpool, under the guidance of Klopp, have scored more goals than any other English Premier League side since October 2015, and Mourinho knows the Red Devils must stifle that attack if they are going to leave Anfield with anything.

“We want to stop them scoring and the best way to do this is with 11 men and to score we want to be dominant, have the ball and this is what we are doing.”

Manchester United have been inconsistent with their performances this season, but Klopp remains fearful.

“We have respect for our opponent, as we respect every opponent we face,” he said on www.iverpoolfc.com. “I know there is great rivalry between our two clubs, but rivalry with respect is something that I believe in.

“In our hearts we will be giving our all and giving everything to win. So will Manchester United.

“I think by having great passion but respecting what our opponent also stands for, we can go into this match looking to produce something that is wonderful.

“This is my hope.”

LIVERPOOL, Sporting Alert – Manchester United v Liverpool, the oldest and most fierce rivalry in English football, will be one of the highlighted Europa League clashes streaming live on ESPN3 on Thursday.

This is the first European meeting between the two English Premier League big boys, and the first leg of this Europa League round of 16 will be at Anfield.

ESPN3 and WatchESPN will stream this game live and it will be available to those in the United States, starting at 3:05 pm, also live score updates will be on www.livescore.com.

Manchester United booked their place into this stage of the competition after knocking off FC Midtjylland 6-3 on aggregate in the previous round, while Liverpool edged past Augsburg 1-0 in their round of 32 matchup.

Meanwhile, in team news, the Reds are expected to name forward Daniel Sturridge in their starting lineup, after the international was rested for the last two fixtures of the competition while working on his fitness.

Sturridge will likely come into the side for Divock Origi, who is set to start on the bench alongside Christian Benteke.

Midfielder James Milner is doubtful for the clash after he left training on Wednesday with illness.

In the meantime, winger Antonio Valencia is likely to be on the bench for Manchester United after returning to training.

The Ecuador international has fully recovered from an operation on his foot to take part in a full week of a practice session with the senior squad, and manager Louis van Gaal hinted they he could be on the bench.

Holding Bastian Schweinsteiger has also returned to training, although the Germany international is unlikely to feature.

“Antonio Valencia and Bastian Schweinsteiger are coming back,” Van Gaal said. “I think a lot of players shall come back in the month of March.

“But when they come back, it is not so easy to decide if they can cope with the rhythm of a match because they are fit to train with us.”

He added: “Valencia has a week [behind him] so he is much closer to being on the bench, for example, but not to play a match as that’s different.

“I don’t think [any new players will be available] but Valencia is fit enough to be on the bench, but to play 90 minutes, I don’t think so.”

Captain and leading forward Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young, Will Keane and Luke Shaw remain on the sideline because of injuries, while winger Jesse Lingard is suspended.

Liverpool v Manchester United LiveScores | Live Radio Stream

UPDATED: Wayne Rooney volleyed home to give Manchester United a 1-0 lead in the second half of the clash against Liverpool. Rooney put back into the roof the net in the 78th minute after Marouane Fellaini’s header came off the cross bar.

——–HALFTIME UPDATE ————

Liverpool and Manchester United are locked at 0-0 at halftime at Anfield.

The Reds have had all the chances to go ahead, but are yet to get on the scoresheet which is growing on the home supporters.

Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana both had good chances to open the scoring, but failed to take them.

Meanwhile, Manchester United were forced into making an early change after Ashley Young picked up an injury late in the first half and was replaced at right-back by youngster Cameron Borthwick-Jackson in the 41st minute.

————-END ——–

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has made one change to his line-up from the Liverpool team that finished 3-3 in midweek with Arsenal for Sunday’s clash with Manchester United.

The lone change sees Lucas Leiva replacing Jordon Ibe in the starting team, as Klopp looks to tighten things up in the midfield to give his team a chance of beating United.

Christian Benteke, Steven Caulker, Joe Allen, Jordon Ibe and Joao Carlos Teixeira are all on the bench.

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal, in the meantime, has decided to keep faith with the same starting lineup that drew 3-3 at Newcastle United at Tuesday for this trip to Anfield.

This means that Spain playmaker Juan Mata remains on the bench, alongside Memphis Depay, while Guillermo Varela replaced James Weir.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Henderson, Milner, Lallana, Firmino. Subs: Ward, Benteke, Caulker, Allen, Ibe, Smith, Teixeira.

David de Gea Wants New Manchester United Deal – Reports

by Leave a Comment

MANCHESTER, Sporting Alert – Is David de Gea about to make Real Madrid pay for being too cheap and indecisive in their pursue to sign him this summer?

De Gea had looked well set to join Real Madrid after he reportedly agreed personal terms with the Spanish side during the summer transfer window.

However, the deal fell through last minute after the Spanish La Liga side failed to finalise terms with Manchester United for the player.

Now El Confidencial is reporting that the Spanish international wants to sign a contract extension with the English Premier League outfits.

According to the El Confidencial, De Gea, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, is looking to secure a new deal with Manchester United that will increase his salary from £35,000 per-week.

The Red Devils, who offered him a new contract before, have made it clear that the player would not be frozen out of the first team if he didn’t want to sign an extension.

The 24-year-old is yet to make a competitive appearance for Manchester United this season with manager Louis van Gaal saying he was not focused enough to play following the interest from Madrid.

However, the club’s best player in the last two season is expected to return to the starting lineup for this weekend’s Premier League clash with fierce rivals Liverpool and his teammates say the world-class shot-stopper will be welcomed back.

Juan Mata, a close friend of De Gea, and the man who helped him during the down times after seeing his dream move to Real Madrid fell through, says everyone at the club is confident the star man will come good again when he returns.

“I don’t think there is going to be any type of problem upon his return, neither from the club, nor the coach or the fans,” Mata told EFE.

“This is what I perceive. The fans love him a lot, he is very well considered by the club and by the coach. I believe everything will continue to be the same.”

Meanwhile, former Manchester United assistant manager Steve Round is also backing the club to support De Gea to return against Liverpool on Saturday.

“He’s an integral part of the United team and so influential. The players have no problem with David,” Round told Sky Sports News HQ.

“He’s such a good professional and a good guy around the place and very popular. I think they’ll welcome him back without a doubt. There won’t be any issues within the dressing room whatsoever.

“The boys will be glad to see him play, he is such a good goalkeeper and if I was a defender, I would want De Gea behind me.

“And there are no bigger games. This is massive and he’ll want to play in this game. Go out there and prove your worth, show what you’re about.

“And it would be a great game for him to re-establish himself, not only with the manager, the team, the fans but also himself.”

English Premier League Fixtures on Dec. 13-15

by Leave a Comment

MANCHESTER (Sporting Alert) — The following is the list of English Premier League games on the schedule for this weekend – Dec. 13 – Dec. 15.

The highlighted clash of the weekend is expected to come from Old Trafford where Manchester United will entertain Liverpool on Sunday.

Louis van Gaal’s side has won five straight games in the league and come Sunday, the Red Devils will want to keep that streak going as they seek to keep Chelsea and Manchester City in their sights.

Liverpool, in the meantime, are sitting ninth in the EPL table standings and are coming off a 0-0 draw with Sunderland the last time out.

While Man United have been busy collecting 15 points in their last five games, Liverpool have dropped three of their last six outings in the league.

Brendan Rodgers’ side was eliminated from the Champions League after playing to a 1-1 draw with Basel in their final group game, but he believes the mood can quickly change in his camp if they can beat their old rivals.

“It’s a very important game – it always is,” Rodgers declared. “It’s a massive game in the fixture list for this country.

“We got an outstanding performance and result last season and if we can replicate that we’ll be very happy.”

Before this fixture though, on Saturday leaders Chelsea will look to bounce back from their first defeat of the season against Newcastle United when they take on Hull City at Stamford Bridge.

But the Blues will be without first choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after he suffered a minor muscular injury during training this week.

Jose Mourinho’s team, despite losing its last league outing, has been in fire form this season — picking up 13 points from a possible 18 — after winning four of the last six to lead the standings with 36 points.

However, at the other end, Hull City are struggling to win games with their last victory coming back on Oct. 4 when they beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home.

The Tigers have dropped four of the last six contest in the league and have just two points to show from playing those fixtures.

Chelsea, which won both these fixtures last season, are the overwhelming favourites to seal all three points at home this weekend against a Hull team they have never lost to in the English Premier League.

Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City will try to carry over its fine form from the Champions League win in Rome on Wednesday when they visit a Leicester City side currently losing its way.

Manchester City have won games four in a row in the EPL and five of the last six to cut Chelsea’s lead at the top of the league standings to just three points, while Leicester City have gone a staggering 10 games without a win and sit on the bottom of the table with 10 points.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Southampton will try to end a three game losing skid when they visit Burnley, Stoke City, fresh off their 3-2 win over Arsenal last week, will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, while the Gunners and Newcastle United will meet at Emirates Stadium.

West Brom will play host to Aston Villa at The Hawthorns, while Sunderland and West Ham will battle at the Stadium of Light.

Live football scores and updates will open from Old Trafford at 8:30 ET with the EPL leaders Manchester United take on arch rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.

The game has been setup for a Robin van Persie vs Luis Suarez striker’s magic, but several pundits believe the action in the middle of the pitch will determine which team takes the three points.

Manchester United have named Rio Ferdinand and captain Nemanja Vidic at the centre of its defence for the first time since September, with manager Sir Alex Ferguson looking to stop the dangerous Suarez.

It kind of shocking that Jonny Evans wasn’t selected over Ferdinand, as although he’s less experience, he has enough, plus he’s faster and can also score goals.

Lots of goals could come in this English Premier League fixture and we will keep you updated.
