Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Man United

We make our way to Anfield as Liverpool and Manchester United go head-to-head in Saturday’s early kick-off.

Having scored seven times in as many matches, Romelu Lukaku arguably faces his toughest challenge of the season against a defence that’s shipped just one goal in front of their own fans.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be on his last chance for many Fantasy owners. After a strong start to the season, the Armenian’s influence has waned of late – he’s managed just a goal and assist in five and has Spurs and Chelsea in the subsequent three.

For Liverpool, interest in Philipp Coutinho is on the rise after he served up two goals and an assist in the last two Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Mo Salah – the most owned midfielder in FPL – looks to replicate the form that has produced double-digits in both his home starts for the Merseysiders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Don't think Lukaku meant that tbh. Difference with incidents like Mings is they purposefully stamped downwards, he was turning round and it flicked his face, could've been sneaky and subtle but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Him getting banned would make transfers a lot easier though...

      Not sure why people are surprised by Utd's performance. Against good teams Mourinho is a defensive manager. A 0-0 is a good result as it is 2pts dropped by Liverpool. Mourinho knows defence wins PL titles - that is why he has so many of them. Mkhi, Lukaku will get lots of points, but today is not the day to be counting on them.

        I think a draw isn't a great result for United.

        Unlike last season where they went into the game as underdogs, they went into this game as the better team and title favorites along with City. Liverpool aren't exactly a title threat for United. I thought Mourinho would only park it after getting at least a 1 goal lead. Let's see what happens.

        Liverpool dropping 2 points is completely irrelevant to City winning the league if United can't beat the big teams. Winning the league means you're supposed to be the best, which means you should be hoping to win any given game. Granted, this is at Anfield, so a point definitely isn't bad.
