Liverpool have been running riots with their performances across all the competitions. They were a bit unlucky to not secure three points against Manchester City. However, in the very next game, they thrashed Sparta Praha 6-1 in the second leg of the Europa League Round of 16.
The Ruthless side is set to lock horns with Manchester United in the quarter-final of the FA Cup. Though the match will be played at the opposition’s den, the Reds wouldn’t mind anything. They have momentum and confidence behind them to crush yet another opponent.
No surprises in the goalkeeper’s name as Caoimhin Kelleher continues to line up between the stick. He had to make only one save in the previous game. Conor Bradley should be allowed to continue his operations at the right-back position.
Ibrahima Konate could finally return from injury and make it into the starting XI, replacing Jarell Quansah. Liverpool’s best defender Virgil van Dijk will definitely be coming back to tackle the dangerous Manchester United attackers.
Though Andy Robertson has been the first-choice left-back, Joe Gomez might be the one starting the game this time.

Wataru Endo didn’t have a good game and was taken off at half-time. However, there is no doubt over his participation in the midfield. Dominik Szoboszlai will also be retained in the midfield. Alexis Mac Allister should walk into the XI in place of Bobby Clark, who injured his ankle against Sparta Praha.
Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez are undoubtedly starting alongside Luis Diaz. Cody Gakpo might find himself unlucky to start on the bench depsite scoring a brace on Thursday.
Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (muscle), Diogo Jota (knee), Ben Doak (knee), Joel Matip (knee), Alisson Becker (thigh), Curtis Jones (shin) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) are the notable absentees.
