In the past two seasons, Manchester United has been at a congenital disadvantage when they met Liverpool!

In the standings in the role of a catch-up.

Prior to Manchester United's visit to Anfield this season, the Reds were as many as five points ahead of Liverpool.

This is a very different situation from the past and can take a lot of mental stress off Manchester United.

Ferguson spoke before the game that Manchester United will be able to face Liverpool more calmly than in the past two seasons, and in this world-renowned English derby, Manchester United will try to reverse the one-sided disadvantage against Liverpool in the past two seasons.

Koeman, on the other hand, was extremely low-key, after all, Fleet Street gave him a lot of mental pressure.

"Whether this game is a win or a loss, Liverpool will not win or fall out immediately, this is a game between direct rivals and Liverpool will do their best! We want to bring joy to the fans and we need no more to say about Manchester United, the Reds will do everything to win. ”

On the evening of October 16.

Liverpool are waiting at Anfield for the Red Devils to come with a monstrous fighting spirit.

The Reds and Red Devils fans in the stands in the stadium were already cheering on their respective teams.

When the Manchester United and Liverpool starters walked onto the pitch, Anfield erupted in deafening applause.

Reds fans have to overwhelm Manchester United in momentum first!

Let them feel the terrifying home atmosphere at Anfield.

"Welcome to Anfield, where the first English derby of the new Premier League season takes place today.

Defending champions Liverpool have not had an easy run of their title this season, suffering a defeat in the first round before stumbling through two draws and four hearty wins.

For the first time in nearly two years, United have a points lead over Liverpool against Liverpool, and the lead is not too small, at five points, meaning the Reds can pursue a full-blown exit at Anfield, in which case they could still be five points ahead of Liverpool.

Liverpool's starting lineup today is 4312.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baines.

Midfielders: Gerrard, Alonso, Qin Xiong, Mascherano.

Forwards: Suarez, Kuyt.

Steven Gerrard is back in form after his timely return, so let's see what kind of fighting Liverpool will play at home today.

Manchester United started 4411.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Patrice Evra.

Midfielders: Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Park Ji-sung, Fletcher, Ryan Giggs.

Striker: Wayne Rooney.

It is clear that Ferguson has learned his lesson from the past few heavy defeats against Liverpool.

With a defensive duo of Phil Jones, Park Ji-sung and Fletcher in the middle of the midfield, the Reds weakened their attack and even abandoned their traditional two-striker configuration.

Rooney had to take on more tasks in attack today and it was a tough test for him.

Well, the game is about to begin, let's enjoy this English derby with the referee's whistle! ”

On the brightly lit Anfield pitch, Liverpool kicked off the ball first and Suarez played the ball to Kuyt, who sent it straight back.

The football rolled to Qin Xiong's feet.

Qin Xiong stepped on the ball at his feet and did not move immediately, he watched the Red Devils' half of the court be heroic.

Every Red Army soldier knows how to close the gap to the top of the standings, and the shortcut is actually such a 6-point campaign!

Winning this game is crucial.

First, to shorten the points gap with competitors, and secondly, if you give your teammates a defeat, it will frustrate the opponent's fighting spirit, killing two birds with one stone!

The Red Devils Manchester United, who have been beaten a little terrified by Liverpool in the past two years, have finally been coaxed!

Not daring to play a double striker at Anfield, the midfield is almost a sapper combination to limit Liverpool's attack.

Perhaps it should be described as pragmatic.

Manchester United, for their part, are also united to crush Liverpool's title defence ambitions at Anfield.

At least United haven't fallen behind in the start of the season and are now five points ahead of Liverpool in the table, which will give them more confidence.

Rooney rushed up to grab Qin Xiong, and before he could get close, Qin Xiong knocked the ball back behind him with his heel.

After knocking the ball, Qin Xiong ran forward, and Alonso passed the ball diagonally to the edge of the set to press Baines from behind.

Baines dribbled two steps forward with the ball before hitting Qin Xiong with a one-two.

He rushed past Ashley Young's side, and Chin-woong also quickly rushed past Park Ji-sung's defense zone after the ball was played.

Park Ji-sung quickly chased back, trying to keep up with Qin Xiong's speed.

Baines dribbled the ball to Smalling's zone and then sent the ball diagonally back.

Alonso, who followed up, stopped the ball from 40 yards out.

Park Ji-sung had to turn around and press Alonso at this point.

Although Manchester United have focused on defence, it does not mean that they will retreat into the box.

Liverpool can't be allowed to recklessly fall back and forth on the edge of the Manchester United penalty area to keep the ball.

In that case, Qin Xiong, Gerrard and Alonso will be bombarded indiscriminately against Manchester United's goal.

Park Ji-sung had just moved towards Alonso, who immediately crossed the ball diagonally in front of Gerrard, who cut forward.

Gerrard stepped forward to lead the ball and took two steps forward.

Fletcher had to move to the front of Gerrard.

Gerrard passed the ball to Qin Xiong in the middle, and after the ball was played, he followed forward to run.

It is possible for him to complete a wall-to-wall cooperation with Qin Xiong!

Gerrard's forward direction was the right rib of the penalty area.

Patrice Evra enters the box and keeps a close eye on Steven Gerrard.

Phil Jones recklessly rushed towards Qin Xiong, who was in possession, and the Manchester United summer signing Qin Xiong did not pay attention, and he had certainly played Phil Jones before that, in the game against Liverpool when Phil Jones was representing his old club.

Qin Xiong played the ball.

He passed the ball straight to Suarez, who was on the left side in front of the penalty area, and the moment the ball left his feet, Qin Xiong quickly started to run forward.

Steven Gerrard and Kuyt pinned down a number of Manchester United defenders in front of the penalty area, Patrice Evra, Evans, Fletcher, etc.

Suarez, for his part, pinned down Ferdinand.

So when Suarez gently knocked the ball horizontally with the arch of his foot at the moment he received Qin Xiong's pass, the front line in front of Qin Xiong's forward insertion in the penalty area was not wide, but the space was enough!

He led the ball in one go, and directly broke through the entire back line of Manchester United!

At the moment of entering the penalty area, Qin Xiong looked up at the goal, and De Gea, the rising star in the Spanish goalkeeper position, faced Qin Xiong with a monstrous killing intent with a solemn expression.

They played each other in the UEFA Super Cup, it was a year ago, and now they meet again.

But the second time they faced each other, Qin Xiong still didn't have the slightest sense of friendship, but welcomed De Gea to the Premier League with a violent volley!
