The Premier League 2022–23 season has just begun but it appears that a lot has already happened. Heavyweights Manchester United are languishing at the bottom of the table after two consecutive losses. Liverpool, the front-runners for the title and the runners-up from the previous season, have started the season winless with just two points out of a possible six.
The first history derby of the season against English juggernauts is made all the more important after this setting. Liverpool needs a victory urgently because they don’t want to fall too far behind in the title race early on, while a battered United would be anxious to turn things around.
A Manchester United supporters’ organization has announced that there would be demonstrations against the owners of the Red Devils at Old Trafford before the match. Amidst fan protest, neither club will benefit from demonstrations against the Glazer family. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has asked that if the game is called off due to such a protest, they should be awarded 3 points.
What Jurgen Klopp had to say about Liverpool’s match against Manchester United at Old Trafford
Jurgen Klopp also spoke about how playing an away game against United will not be easy. “Of course, I would prefer to play them after they win 5-0 but it isn’t dreamland, that’s how it is. We drew twice too, so is it better to play us? I don’t know,” Klopp told reporters at a press conference.
“If it happens, I think we should get the point. We have to deal with all the situations. The whole world will watch it, let’s see how these heavyweights deal with the situation,” he added. “The last two results, I knew already wouldn’t help this time. I couldn’t be less interested in the results from last season… It helps United to be more motivated if that’s possible,” Klopp said about their recent dominance over United in League encounters.
“This is a completely different game in a completely different situation. United can change nothing or everything, so it’s tricky preparation-wise, but it’s early and we don’t have a lot of info. It’s tough… United away will never be easy”, Klopp said. The two teams are scheduled to go head to head on Monday night at Old Trafford.
