Liverpool travel to Old Trafford on Sunday to take on Manchester United and Jurgen Klopp is set to have two of his star players available.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have gotten off to the best possible start to their league campaign and will travel to Old Trafford with full confidence to continue their 100% record. The Reds are eight points clear of title rivals Manchester City and the gap could still be intact thanks to a double injury boost ahead of the trip.
Liverpool shot-stopper Alisson has been on the sidelines due to an injury since the opening day of the season. The Brazilian hobbled off due to a calf problem just 39 minutes into the game against Norwich City but the report claims that he is expected to take over from Adrian in goal against Manchester United on Sunday.
The Reds were also worried about the fitness of Mo Salah after an incident at the end of their game against Leicester City just before the international break. Hamza Choudhury’s horrible tackle forced the Egyptian superstar to undergo a scan which made him a doubt for the game this weekend.
Liverpool fans will be delighted to hear the news that Salah has recovered from the injury and is expected to start against the Red Devils on Sunday. The former AS Roma man is yet to register a single goal or an assist against Manchester United in the Premier League but he will be looking to change that against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side who have had their worst start to the season in 30 years.
Manchester City have a tough away game against Crystal Palace on Saturday and any hiccup there could widen the gap to double digits if Liverpool manage to take all three points at Old Trafford. Salah and Alisson’s return is undoubtedly a massive boost for the Reds and if the duo have a positive performance on the day, it is likely that they will pick up the victory.
