Famed for their last-minute heroics during the early stages of the campaign, the injury-time tables have been well and truly turned on faltering champions Liverpool, who have succumbed to 90+ efforts in back-to-back Premier League defeats against Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Arne Slot oversaw a miserable three straight losses in all competitions before the international break, whereas the Red Devils are searching for a respectable fourth win from six in the top flight, including a 2-1 Chelsea win.

 

📈Team Form📉

 

🔴 Liverpool: After a strong start with four wins, two consecutive league defeats have halted their momentum.

🔔 Manchester United: The Red Devils have had mixed results, with two wins in their last three Premier League matches.

 

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊

 

🔥 Liverpool have not suffered three straight Premier League defeats since February 2021.

🔥 Manchester United have appallingly failed to win any of their last eight Premier League away matches.

🔥 Liverpool have not tasted a home defeat against the Red Devils in league action since 2016.

 

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥

 

🔴Liverpool | Premier League form: W🟢 W🟢 W🟢 W🟢 L🔴 L🔴:

 

The holders are not the irrepressible force they were this time last year - particularly in the defensive third. Since shutting out Burnley in mid-September, Liverpool have gone without a clean sheet in their last six games, and the nine goals conceded in the Premier League are the joint-most of any team in the top nine of the table.

Manager Arne Slot has confirmed two crucial fitness boosts, with Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch both expected to be available. However, first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.

 

☀️Manchester United | Premier League form: D🟡 W🟢 L🔴 W🟢 L🔴 W🟢:

 

Two more positive results for the Red Devils and two more negative outcomes for Liverpool would see them leapfrog the reigning champions in the top-flight table. United most recently derailed the Sunderland steam train in a routine 2-0 home triumph, which has propelled them into the top half of the standings.

Manager Ruben Amorim has allayed fears over Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha after the quartet missed training; all were simply being given more time to recuperate and are available for the weekend. However, the team will face Liverpool with a depleted backline, as Lisandro Martinez remains a few weeks away from making his comeback.

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

🔴Liverpool (possible):

Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

 

☀️Manchester United (possible):

Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Mount; Sesko.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Mohamed Salah - The Egyptian has been involved in 19 Premier League goals against Man United, more than any other player in history, and will be key to Liverpool's response.

✨ Ibrahima Konate - His return to the backline is a crucial boost for a Liverpool defence seeking to end its clean sheet drought.

✨ Mason Mount - Scored an early opener in United's last match and will be central to their creative efforts at Anfield.

 

💵 Odds Market on MSport 💵

 

💵 Liverpool/Home to win = 1.65

💵 Manchester United/Away to win = 5.16

💵 Both teams to score (GG/NG Yes) = 1.52

💵 Over 2.5 total goals = 1.45

 

This is a fixture heavy with recent history and pride. Liverpool are reeling but have a strong historical hold at home, whereas Manchester United will believe they can exploit the champions' shaky defence and poor recent form.

📈Team Form📉

 

🔹 PSG: 13 points from seven matches (based on W-L-W-W-D form).

🔸 Strasbourg: 15 points from seven matches (based on W-W-L-W-W form).

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head📊

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams:

 

🏡PSG |  Last 5 Ligue 1 form: W🟢 L🔴 W🟢 W🟢 D🟡:

 

Luis Enrique's side was held to a 1-1 draw by Lille in their previous league fixture, a performance that saw them drop two points. The team will be looking to return to winning ways at home.

However, they face significant squad challenges, with key players including Ousmane Dembélé, Fabián Ruiz, Marquinhos, and João Neves confirmed absent due to injury. Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Senny Mayulu might also miss out due to fitness issues.

 

🅰️Strasbourg |  Last 5 Ligue 1 form: W🟢 W🟢 L🔴 W🟢 W🟢:

 

RC Strasbourg have started the new season positively, winning five of their first seven games. They are coming off a massive 5-0 victory against Angers and, despite being away from home, will feel confident.

Their campaign, however, is also hampered by injuries, as they will be without the services of Saïdou Sow, Mamadou Sarr, and two other players. Ben Chilwell is also likely to be unavailable due to fitness concerns.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups👥

 

🔴🔵PSG (possible 4-3-3):

Chevalier (GK); Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Mendes; Kang-in, Vitinha, Ndjantou; Mbaye, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.

 

⚪🔵Strasbourg (possible 3-4-2-1):

Penders (GK); Doué, Høgsberg, Doukoure; Ouattara, Barco, El Mourabet, Moreira; Godo, Lemarechal; Panichelli.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch👀

 

✨ Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - The Georgia international is a crucial part of PSG's attack, expected to lead the threat from the left wing.

✨ Joaquín Panichelli - The Strasbourg striker has scored five goals in seven league games this season and is coming off a brace in his previous appearance.

✨ Midfield Battle - The performance of PSG's Vitinha and Kang-in Lee against Strasbourg's engine room, featuring El Mourabet and Barco, could dictate the game's tempo.

💵 Odds Market on MSport 💵

 

💵 PSG/Home to win = 1.32

💵 Strasbourg/Away to win = 9.06

💵 Both teams to score (GG/NG Yes) = 1.79

💵 Over 2.5 total goals = 1.46

 

This is a classic test of a title contender against an in-form challenger. PSG must rediscover their consistency, while Strasbourg will believe they can extend their brilliant run and capitalise on the champions' stuttering form.
