Liverpool are set to face Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, where Arne Slot and his squad will hope to break a three-match losing streak with a convincing victory over their bitter rivalsDanny Simpson has told Liverpool exactly what they must do to beat Manchester United on Sunday. Meanwhile, United head into the fixture with a 2-0 win over a newly-promoted Sunderland to their name, despite a mixed-bag of results in Amorim's favour elsewhere.And speaking to the MEN via MightyTips ahead of the Northwest derby, Simpson has revealed exactly how Liverpool can bounce back to winning ways over their bitter rivals.
Or are they going to be angry and come out fighting because they're back at home and the crowd is going to be even noisier, and it's Man United."So, United, yes, they got a win against Sunderland, but albeit, no disrespect, it was Sunderland at home. I've played at Anfield loads, and they can make you nervous after the first 10, 15 minutes."It's hard to recover.
If United can somehow just get through that storm at 10 minutes, maybe create a few chances, nick a goal, then it would be really nervous times for Liverpool."Simpson also explained that the recent international break could prove problematic for players returning to club football, especially should they pick up injury while representing their nation.The 38-year-old continued: "It's hard as well with the international break because we don't know what condition the players are coming back in, and the manager has no idea until maybe tomorrow or Thursday. So, it's always a tricky one after the international break."Liverpool head into their home clash with United without a number of key players who have picked up injuries as of recent, with Alisson Becker and Giovanni Leoni ruled out entirely, while the participation of Ibrahima Konate, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo remains unknown for the time being.However, United also have a number of injuries to navigate themselves.
