Another unremarkable day for Fantasy managers does have least come to a crescendo. Manchester United’s head-to-head with Liverpool at Old Trafford has the history and rivalry to provide a rip-roaring finale to a rather flat day of returns.

Both sides come into this encounter with wounds to heal. United will be seeking to bounce back following their 2-1 defeat to Swansea, while Liverpool suffered a crushing 3-0 home loss to the Hammers in Gameweek 4.

The Red Devils are unbeaten at home but will be disappointed they couldn’t secure all three points against Newcastle in their home clash. That match was symptomatic of their lacklustre attack this term, given that they rank fifth-bottom with regards to shot conversion rate (6.1%). On the plus side, Louis van Gaal’s charges are positioned third-bottom for shots inside the box conceded (21) and big chances conceded (two), which explains how they’ve chalked up three shut-outs already.

Before their loss to the Irons, Liverpool were yet to concede and held Arsenal to a 0-0 stalemate at the Emirates, so it’s difficult to predict how they’ll fare at Old Trafford. The Merseysiders will certainly want to improve their output in the final third, considering they rank joint-bottom for goals scored by virtue of a pitiful 3.7% conversation rate.
