Manchester United visit Liverpool on Sunday with Ruben Amorim looking to record back-to-back Premier League victories.
The head coach has yet to win back-to-back games in the league at United. When picking his team this weekend, Amorim will surely not hesitate in keeping Senne Lammens in goal. The Belgian oozed confidence between the sticks against Sunderland and that reassurance will be vital on Sunday.
The back three is unlikely to change considering how stable it seemed against the Black Cats but there could be alterations to the wing-backs. Amad, who started against Sunderland, may drop to the bench due to the attacking threats that Liverpool pose.
Instead, Diogo Dalot could switch from the left flank to his more favoured right with Patrick Dorgu filling in on the other side. Should Casemiro come through his back-to-back 90 minutes for Brazil unscathed, he could partner Bruno Fernandes in the centre.
This of course means no place for Kobbie Mainoo once again in the United starting line-up. Mainoo has yet to start in the Premier League this season.
In the front three, we can expect to see Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko joined by Mason Mount. Mount's determination and commitment to the team can never be questioned and if he remains injury free, he could play a key role under Amorim.
Predicted XI: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Mount; Sesko
