‘The 7-0 was a freak result!’ | Jurgen Klopp previews Liverpool’s clash with Man Utd<\/h3>\n

Manchester United travel to Liverpool on Sunday, still licking their wounds from the 7-0 pummelling they suffered at Anfield in March. But Erik ten Hag pointed out that “different players” would be facing the Premier League leaders this weekend, and he’s not exactly incorrect.<\/p>\n

Only nine months have passed since one of the darkest days in United’s illustrious history on the pitch.<\/p>\n

However, Ten Hag’s side may look entirely different, with just four players expected to retain their starting spots on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Express Sport<\/em> looks back on how United lined up for the seven-goal mauling and what could change for this season’s visit.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper – De Gea<\/h2>\n

David de Gea faced eight shots on target with a 2.78xG and conceded seven of them as part of the disappointing end to his 11-year United career.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard left on a free transfer in the summer after failing to agree to a new contract on a reduced salary, and Ten Hag replaced him with Andre Onana. The \u00a347m stopper still has plenty to prove.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Defence – Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw<\/h2>\n

Three of the back four who were penetrated seven times earlier this year are slated to start on Sunday, which may not exactly bode well.<\/p>\n

Lisandro Martinez suffered a season-ending foot injury shortly after the Liverpool defeat, which he is still recovering from after a failed return at the start of the current campaign.<\/p>\n

With Harry Maguire ruled out, Raphael Varane is set to start back-to-back games, and Luke Shaw could start alongside him at centre-back.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag will likely want Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s defensive attributes at right-back, pushing Diogo Dalot to the left instead of Sergio Reguilon.<\/p>\n
