Liverpool Set to Host Manchester United at Anfield As Planned

The game week 20 fixtures of the English Premier League continue today as Liverpool, the host, takes on Manchester United at Anfield at 16:30 GMT. The much-anticipated game is set to go ahead as planned, despite challenging weather conditions in the city of Liverpool. The game, which is scheduled to be played today at Anfield, was under threat due to a heavy snowfall since yesterday night and even today this morning. An official statement from the officials of the Premier League indicates that the game will be played today in the city of Liverpool as scheduled. After two safety meetings were assessed, it was then decided that the match can be played.

The host Liverpool earlier this morning made a statement saying, “Today’s fixture against Manchester United will go ahead as planned. Two safety meetings were held earlier this morning to assess the weather and travel conditions. We thank everyone involved in helping us to get this game on today. If you are travelling to Anfield, then please take extra care.”

Match Preview

The game between Liverpool, the host, and Manchester United, the away team, is not expected to be only a game but also a battle steeped in history, rivalry, and pride. Liverpool, who are currently the leaders of the ongoing English Premier League campaign, have shown some impressive performances under new manager Arne Slot. However, Manchester United, on the other hand, has been putting on some poor performances in recent games. New manager Ruben Amorim has  not found his  feet since joining the club, hence producing some poor results and is even on the verge of being in the relegation zone. A win for Arne Slot and his boys today at Anfield sees them solidifying their first position on the league table. Also, a win or even a draw for the away side will help them turn their poor start of the 2024/24 league campaign around.

Team News and Expectations.

As the game is expected to be played as planned, the host Liverpool is likely to be without Joe Gomez due to the injury he picked up in their recent game, but they have Dominik Szoboszlai returning from injury. The away side, Manchester United, on the other hand, will be without their captain, Bruno Fernandez, and Manuek Ugarte because of the serving of suspensions. Liverpool and Egyptian talisman is likely to make an impact in this game for Liverpool.

As fans of both clubs start preparation to witness the beautiful game today. This fixture is not just about points but about the passion, legacy, and the love for the game.
