In a League that has become excessively unpredictable with heavyweight teams like Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are losing and drawing more matches than expected, it’s ironic that Liverpool is undefeated. Liverpool seems invincible this season and with each match it seems less and less likely that the Reds will drop any points. The side has drawn only once throughout the undefeated run putting them just 2 points shy of the maximum possible points tally. The only team that drew against them was Manchester United, a team that is hoping to go one step further in the upcoming game.
Manchester United has had a rocky season. The team has registered 6 losses and dropped as low as the bottom half of the table at a point in the season. But eventually the team picked itself up and registered it’s fair share of wins including a big one against Manchester City. The upcoming match against Liverpool might be classic David v Goliath but Man United cannot be counted out given their performance against the top 6 teams(only 1 defeat,against Arsenal).
