De Gea just injured himself taking a goal kick, looks like a pulled hamstring or something. He had to be helped off the pitch. Things coming together nicely for the weekend

Lampard’s proved in 3 months that he’s a better manager than Solksjaer & he wasn’t even permitted to sign anybody in the summer. Solksjaer will be sacked by New Year I think.

Neither of them have accomplished anything so far though, so how come you think one is better than the other? One team has two more wins than the other but that doesn't say much about who's the better manager :/

Do not underestimate a world-class goalkeeper like Sergio Romero    LOL

On a serious note, wtf is up with Man Utd and the players getting injured so often?

The fun point is that there were a lot of people saying that Lampard is going to have hard times in Chelsea's bench.
And now they cheer for Lampard while they mourn about Solskjaer's performance and Manchester United results.
In my opinion, Man Utd players don't want Ole and they don't try enough to win.

Right now these both clubs facing some difficult time but Mancherster United facing some off the ground problems which are killing them they need to solve them and if few players have some problem then surely they have to drop them for the sack of club otherwise they are going to face some serious trouble in coming days.

I wouldn't say Lampard understands his players perfectly, but it's better now. Football is an exciting sport because what happens off the pitch is not reported but affect the performance on the pitch. He still has a long way to go, but it's better than Solksjaer.

Hahaha i wonder where the "Ole on the wheel" chants vanished to  
He started out so impressively, after securing the job the things started falling apart. The current Manchester United just need a complete overhaul.

The best thing United should have done in the summer was to get rid of the likes of Pogba, ashley young etc and also bring in new world class attackers to replace the likes of Lukaku and Alexis. But they never did that and for all we know, United might even struggle to make it to the top 8

If he wants to have a successful career, he would have to solve that issue and maintain ascendency or at least consistency. The is something most too managers have.
Look at Marco Silva, the Everton boss. He hit the ground running very quickly and the club invested lots into the club to back him up, but his team just fell apart after a while, just like Watford.

Ole has to find a way to make it stick not for six months or a season, but consistently.

Today is the last day of the Euro 2020 Qualifying Round. I can't wait to see the premiere league match on Saturday. so far it seems that no player in the premier league has been injured while playing for his country right?

Most of the major international games have already been played and everyone is looking forward to the Manchester United and Liverpool game which is without doubt the biggest this coming weekend. I saw a sport pundit giving his opinion about the best players in the two teams and there wasn't a single Manchester United player in the lineup.

Unfortunately Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has limped off during in the game while on duty for Spain against Sweden do man utd have any backed up keeper to cover for De Gea? I hope the team should avoid humiliating defeat else they will begin to battle relegation which is an embarrassing moment of a team of such caliber i just hope they put up a fight against Liverpool to avoid sacking of Solskjaer.

. I really hope United lose. By a lot. I'm still not sure whether to go for the draw or Liverpool win. I'll wait for the line ups before I commit. De Gea could be back by then.

Lukaku and especially Alexis didn't do much when they were there. Pogba is far better than both even given his disappointing form.

do man utd have any backed up keeper to cover for De Gea?

Of course they do. Most teams have at 2 extra keepers on their books and will always have one on the bench. Man United's second keeper is Sergio Romero and they also have another reserve in Lee Grant who will likely be on the bench in the next game if De Gea isn't fit.

[DeathAngel]

@hilarious - United could raise their levels because it’s a Derby. I dunno, Liverpool should win but it really wouldn’t surprise me to see United grab a point with a really defensive display.

[/quote]
Selying Lukaku and not replacing him is one of the main reason why Manchester United are currently struggling, it's okay secret that Lukaku has some problems when it comes to scoring against the big teams but his goal tally against the other clubs were very impressive and am sure that they are currently missing those goals very much. I seem to recall Solksjaer benching him a lot during last season making him feel  unwelcomed.

[Murat]

Alisson has returned the practice ground at Anfield, he's got recovered his injuries and makes comfortable both for the team and himself also, I think with him, Liverpool is stronger than in previous games, Already they have gained 8 points lead at the end of 8th round, so they are clearly ahead of the league title in this season, not only that they are playing also well as a compact team, most of the players are performing following their coaches strategy. so if they continue their performance the EPL title should go the Liverpool's trophy case, but I must afraid of Manchester United because they are in the 12th position which is the worst result I have ever seen, it's totally unexpected result from a big giant team.

He will be a big miss for Man Utd,  who knows maybe he faked his injury so as not to get humiliated against Liverpool    because it's a sure goals galore game,  Liverpool will score

LOL, that would be a funny case. However, I don't think that he did it on purpose.
In games that they are between strong teams the players want to be on the first line up and prove that they worth being on a bigger club. De Gea will be a significant loss for Man Utd.

we have the same opinion, also I would like to see breaking the unbeaten Liverpool streak just made by his biggest opponent. But we have to be realistic, MU needs to have so much luck with Liverpool's worst day in the year, to get a draw.

Did Solkjaer have a good appearance when he first entered to the Man Utd coach seat. we cannot directly assess Lampard performance better than Solkjaer. Lampard has only been a few matches, and we have to see more matches to be able to see which is better. Besides the arrangement of the players and the condition of the teams from Man Utd and Chelsea differ greatly, and we know why Man Utd always experiences minor results, their players are rubbish, that's one reason why Lampard is better in the recent match

  Yeah I knew he had injury,  was just trying to joke around and see the reaction of some Man Utd fans  , hopefully Romero will do a fantastic job in making sure that they don't concede much goals

Every result is possible in the Manchester United vs Liverpool game. There is no doubt Liverpool has a bigger chance to win the match. But every result is possible. Cannot say Liverpool will definitely win the match. Liverpool ended the previous season with 31 points more than Manchester United. But the game held in Old Trafford betwen these two teams ended in a draw. I predict Liverpool to win the match. But I won't be much surprised even if United win the game.

It has been proven that lampard is better than Ole. We have seen with the fact that there is now, even Ole does not give a good performance for Manchester United. Whereas Lampard was doubtful at the beginning, but now he is better.

Nah Solksjaer will be sacked very very soon. If Man United next match versus Liverpool end up with a really bad result, he will be gone for sure. In my opinion Man United needs a coach that have a big leadership and can up the team morale. I'm curious, what is Man United fans think about Solksjaer, are the fans still believe in him or not?

[Rikafip]

Today is 4th anniversary of Jurgen Klopp first game as Liverpool manager. Back in October 17th 2015  against Spurs, that ended 0:0. It was interesting to see the progress through those years, and seems like this year Liverpool will finally get that EPL title.

Only way Man Utd can get out of that hole is to get someone like Klopp, someone with vision and let him work, but it is easier said than done to find that kind of coach. In my opinion, Klopp inherited even weaker team than Man Utd have now, so everything is possible if you rbing right man for the right club.

[Upgrade00]

If Liverpool gets all three points at Old Trafford, they would be equal the record for the best start to a season with 9 victories. The record is currently held by Jose Mourinho's Chelsea of 2005/06. They would also hit a record run of 18 straight wins between last season and this, equal with Manchester City.
With this run of form, it would take an incredible dip for then to lose their grip at the top of the table.

However there is a little bit of history for Manchester United to be excited about; Jurgen Klopp has never beaten the Red Devils at home.
