Can be expect Man Utd, at home, to sit deep and try to keep the game compact with very few transitions? What are the Red Devils’ key weaknesses? Will Klopp be proactive with the midfield, especially considering many considered it a factor last time we played at Old Trafford and dropped points. How much have we seen of Genk? Who are their biggest threats? How do they set up?Spurs travel to Anfield on Sunday after the Reds have travelled to Manchester and Belgium, will the first two matches drive selection for this one? Or does the fact the league cup follows make it easier for Klopp to stick with his preferred eleven? Why are Spurs struggling so much, and which games have you seen them play? Should OGS and Poch get the sack? Predictions.
