2) Pressure is on United
This is a game that no side will want to lose. The onus is usually on the home side to push for a win, and there will be extra pressure on United because they have not won either of their last two games.
Liverpool are also without the suspended Philippe Coutinho, and injured duo Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge, so may not expect to win. This could help Rodgers get the best out of his players.
