After the international break, there will be double red meetings. This arrangement of the Premier League is a mistake again.
Although the Double Red Club never looks at the rankings, it is still necessary to mention the situation of Liverpool and Manchester United. After 7 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool ranked second with 15 points and 5 wins, 2 losses. Manchester United ranked 10th with 10 points and 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The gap between the two teams is 5 points.
It must be pointed out that Liverpool suffered two consecutive losses after winning the first five rounds, and both were defeated by their opponents; Manchester United achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss after the disastrous defeat in the Manchester City Derby, which is considered to be out of the trough.
During the international match days, Manchester United has the largest traffic. First, Sir Ratcliffe, the sports business controller, publicly supported coach Amorim and gave him full support for three years. Then, the British media revealed that the Glazer family was negotiating a sale with the UAE consortium. Manchester United's days seemed to be brightening again.
Obviously, in this first double-red match of the season, Liverpool is under greater pressure at home.
Starting high and going low, there have been backlashes. This is Liverpool's current situation. Slott urgently needs a boosting victory to relieve the pressure. Therefore, Liverpool must win this double red meeting. Because once they lose to Manchester United, which is still in turmoil, it is very likely to trigger a domino effect that will engulf Liverpool after their crazy signings in the summer window.
In fact, both Slott and Amorim encountered the same problem - their ex. It’s just that Slaughter is eager to cut off from Klopp’s aura to highlight himself, while Amorim is eager to eliminate Ten Hag’s legacy and implement his own tactical concepts.
This summer window, Liverpool is the club that has invested the most in signings, with a total investment of 412 million pounds; while Manchester United ranks first among clubs without a European war mission, with a total investment of 213 million pounds. The introduction of multiple strong players at once will naturally touch upon the most fundamental issue, which is integration and running-in.
At least for now, neither Slott nor Amorim have solved this problem. Liverpool had two Premier League bids this summer. As a result, the two biggest bids ranked among the top five worst signings in the summer window - Wirtz transformed into 007 and became the unquestionable worst; Isak would rather be broken, but it would be difficult to destroy him after all.
In the first 5 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool relied on 4 wins to win all the games, and they were in the limelight for a while. However, the joy brought by the winning goal concealed the hidden dangers of the defense. Liverpool immediately suffered a backlash from its opponents. Not to mention losing the top spot, the road to defending the title became extremely dangerous.
Rival Arsenal has a more balanced lineup, more stable defense, and a more relaxed schedule than Liverpool. Obviously, if Liverpool fails to win the game at Anfield, it will be completely passive in the championship competition with Arsenal, not to mention Manchester City, which has recovered its strength.
Liverpool is determined to win, but Manchester United is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so they go into battle lightly. After all, with Manchester United's current strength, it is difficult to expect them to escape unscathed at Anfield. A draw would be beyond expectations.
However, football is round, and even if Manchester United is in dire straits, they would not mind drawing with Liverpool and sending Arsenal to continue to lead the Premier League.
