Liverpool hold a distinct advantage over Manchester United, highlighted against Wolves. An unexpected player in Jürgen Klopp's top 10 scorers can do damage.
As Manchester United took on Liverpool, memories of an earlier clash with fierce rivals The Reds were stirred by a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek. Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah were on the scoresheet against Julen Lopetegui's men, just as they had an unforgettable win over United in 2020.
Regardless of Sunday's results, Kopites won't shout that his team will win the league, the way they did three years ago. The fact that their last two scorers could find their way back into the net.
With 10 times in the opponent's net, the Red Devils are Salah's favorite opponents, along with his cousins ??across Manchester. There would be no better team for the Egyptian to equalize (or hope to beat) Robbie Fowler's 128 Premier League goals for Liverpool against either team.
We should also not rule out the possibility that Van Dijk is on the scoreboard. While the Reds' scoring numbers are somewhat distorted by beating Bournemouth 9-0, the reality is that they have scored just one less than Manchester United this season, while conceding a similar amount. . The teams have had very similar campaigns in this regard; Erik ten Hag's team simply aligns their goals for greater efficiency (if only it were so easy to organize).
However, Liverpool have scored 10 goals from set pieces, two goals behind leading Tottenham, while Manchester United are second with three. The position is not too difficult at the back, but the Reds have a better record, conceding 4 vs. 7. In short, a team with a +6 goal difference will host a record team. -4 on Sunday.

Van Dijk is an integral part of Liverpool's strength on this front. His goal against Wolves was the Reds' first in a dead-ball situation since scoring in a 13-match win over Villa Park. The fact that the Dutchman played only four and a half games between two encounters with the Midlands rivals shows how important he is in dead-ball situations.
A reflection on his career at Liverpool tells you much. The former Southampton defender's debut was marked by a derby goal, scoring both in a 2-1 win over Brighton and against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Only eight players have scored more non-penalty goals for Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool than his 19, and that says it all.
Also think back to 2020/21, the season he missed the most because of Jordan Pickford. That makes the Reds' recent set-piece drought seem short-lived, as Liverpool have gone 26 games and 91 shots without finding a net from a dead-ball opportunity during the season. this award. If Van Dijk had been present, this certainly would not have happened.
