The physiotherapist’s room at Old Trafford was busier this week than it had been the previous one, as both Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw hobbled off the field against Bayern Munich in the middle of the week.

Maguire will not be playing in tomorrow’s Premier League match against Liverpool, but Erik ten Hag, the manager, does not anticipate a lengthy absence.

Due to the illness that prevented him from playing on Tuesday, Anthony Martial is still sidelined; however, Marcus Rashford is back.

It has been stated that Rashford has a Norovirus.

Shaw appears to have had hamstring trouble, but he too has bounced back swiftly and is ready to play.

It’s unknown at this time whether Victor Lindelof has recovered from the illness that kept him out of the last two games because, as far as we know, neither the club nor Ten Hag mentioned him at his press conference. We’re going to assume he stays unavailable.

After undergoing his second surgery for the same ankle issue that held him out of the final stretch of the previous season, Lisandro Martinez is back on the field, but he will miss at least a few weeks of football competition.

Tyrell Malacia will not be available until at least mid-January due to a little setback in his recuperation.

Given that United lost the similar match 7-0 the previous season, Ten Hag might choose Aaron Wan-Bissaka over Diogo Dalot for the right back position due to his defensive mindset.

It appears more likely that Jonny Evans will partner Rapha Varane at center defense and Shaw will play left back if Lindelof is unable to participate. Shaw’s stint at center back appears to have run its course.

Another possibility is Sergio Reguilon.

Ten Hag is anticipated to continue to have faith in Andre Onana in the goal.

Mason Mount may be ready to play again in midfield, but the bench is most likely the only practical option. Bruno Fernandes is suspended and both Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are sidelined.

Once more, exercising care, the most likely scenario is that Kobbie Mainoo replaces Bruno, with Sofyan Amrabat supporting the eighteen-year-old and Scott McTominay stepping up a bit into an eight-ten role. While some creativity is lost, midfield should get a bit more of a defensive wall as a result.

Another contender to replace Fernandes is Hannibal, although the harsh Anfield environment may not be the ideal fit for his inexperience and аggressive attitude.

With Rasmus Hojlund appearing jaded and unconfident and with Martial out of the picture, Rashford might be asked to play center forward, with Alejandro Garnacho sticking on the left wing and Antony on the right.

In addition to giving Rashford the chance to really start his season against Liverpool, this would offer Hojlund a chance to recover and benefit from new legs should he be brought on as a substitute in the second half.

If Amad Diallo does not play for the U21s today, he may return to the bench following a lengthy absence. While Jadon Sancho is still being banished by Ten Hag, Facu Pellistri is another possibility on the wings.

In light of everything, the following is our lineup prediction for tomorrow’s match:
