Manchester United vs Liverpool: Ruthless rivalry to take centre stage again

The stage is set for Manchester United and Liverpool to clash in one of the most important fixtures of the Premier League 2016-2017 season. If Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils beat the Merseyside Reds on Sunday, the League table would open up yet again as United have already joined the race.

Also United can extend their unbeaten run to 16 matches and a 10-match winning streak. The next fixtures are comparatively easier and therefore the winning streak may continue. But when it comes to these two sides, one can expect a cracker of a match as the rivalry between them has been bitter, very very bitter.

Both United and Liverpool have plenty of unsavoury moments that they would want to forget. But the moment they come out in the pitch there’s some sort an evil energy that works among these two sides which pushes them to take the rivalry to a whole new level.

Racism, fights, drama, tragedy and there is so much more to this fixture. One actually will not be able to find much of sportsmanship between United and Liverpool.

The last time they met at Anfield, the match ended in a goalless draw. But this time, the kind of form United is in, one can expect goals definitely. Jurgen Klopp will be aware of the situation and will be hungry for a victory to steady their ship.
