Liverpool vs Man Utd - A Tactical Rundown from Rival Recon
Carl Anka, a renowned Manchester United correspondent, delves into the tactical perplexities faced by United under Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils' reliance on transition play and pressing tactics has been a double-edged sword. While it has led to exhilarating counter-attacks, it has also...
Increased Capacity for Red Devil’s Visit
What a day Sunday will be. The opening of the upper Anfield Road will bring the capacity up to 57,000. Those 7,000 extra voices will welcome Manchester United with the respect the visitors deserve.

The Season’s Peak
This is the best part of the season. No more international breaks until March. The games come thick and fast from now on. December is rammed with matches. The fate of the campaign may not be decided before the new year but we’ll have a pretty good idea about where we’re heading...
