Manchester United has numerous problems before tonight’s derby with Liverpool, the Red Devils fear that their fans may cause an incident and interruption, and even if it is calm in the stands, they do not want a repeat of the 1986/87 season, when they started in the English championship with three defeats in the first three rounds.
But in Liverpool they don’t care about the troubles of their rival, on the contrary, they would be happy if they deepen the crisis of United. This was confirmed by striker Roberto Firmino, who is returning to the starting line-up.
“I’m not interested in whether our victory will plunge Manchester into an even bigger crisis, I just want the three points.” This match was always big and important. “Playing at Old Trafford is difficult, I know that the fans will be satisfied only if we beat our great rival,” said the Brazilian.
Liverpool did not start the season as they wanted, they have two draws.
“The victory is more than necessary for us. We didn’t start the way we wanted, but it’s only two matches, we’re calm, we know we’re capable of keeping the gap with the leaders to a minimum,” adds Firmino, who will have a place in the starting line-up due to the suspension of Darwin Nunez, who was sent off in the second round.
