Man United head coach Ruben Amorim might have no choice but to reshuffle his XI to try and stifle Liverpool at Anfield.
The last time Manchester United celebrated a goal at Anfield Jose Mourinho was still in charge, nobody had heard of Coronavirus and Donald Trump was in his first term as president.
Liverpool have adjusted to life without Jurgen Klopp seamlessly, blossoming under the stewardship of Arne Slot. They have won 23 of their first 27 matches under the Dutchman, scoring 68 goals. It is hardly surprising some United fans are fearful of another 7-0 drubbing. Amid United's current situation, Amorim would be within his rights, despite the obvious need for three points, to set his team up to try and stifle Slot's title hopefuls. The Portuguese chief will set up with his trademark three-at-the-back formation, but the wing-backs are likely to be doing far more defending than attacking.
The Ivorian is far more effective as a wing-back. Not only is he better as an individual, him operating in that role gives United more balance. After a nightmare opening half hour against Newcastle on Monday night, United improved when Kobbie Mainoo was brought on in place of Joshua Zirkzee. He created an opening shortly before half-time that Casemiro should have taken and United were more adventurous with the ball once he was on the field.
