Liverpool is armed with a series of 10 victories in a row at home in the “Premier League” and lost once in its last 24 matches in various competitions, and by turning “Anfield” into a fortress, where it did not lose at home this season in the league, winning 12 games and drawing in three.
It is expected that Klopp will make several changes to his squad that beat Manchester City last Saturday (3-2), while he will rely once more on the explosive attacking duo of Egyptian Mohamed Salah and Senegalese Sadio Mane. Despite the recent decline in Salah’s level, as he scored only a goal in his last 12 matches in the shirt of his team and the “Pharaohs” team, he is considered terrifying “demons”, as he visited his net 7 times in his last five matches in various competitions. Mane will be a trump card for the Reds following he led them to beat City by scoring two goals, while the tall French defender Ibrahima Konate returned to the fore, scoring three goals in his last three matches following waiting 19 games to open his tally with Liverpool.
On the other hand, United seeks to build on its victory once morest Norwich to follow up on its victories, knowing that it has won only two of the last eight matches in various competitions, compared to three draws and the same number of defeats.

Wednesday also plays Everton with Leicester City (21:45) in a postponed meeting of the eighteenth stage, Newcastle with Crystal Palace and Burnley with Southampton at the same time.
