Salah misses out against Manchester United – how will Liverpool cope?

Salah misses out against Manchester United – how will Liverpool cope?

Liverpool face Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon as they look to continue their 100% start to the Premier League season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have won all eight of their league matches so far, but will have to play without Mo Salah for the first time.

Salah, who has started all eight of Liverpool’s games up to now, has been left out of the squad due to injury – with Divock Origi starting ahead of him.

Origi has been brought into the side in his place, which means that the Belgian could start out wide. Origi has played on the left before for Liverpool, which means that we could see Sadio Mane deployed on the right with Roberto Firmino staying central.

Whilst Salah is a huge loss for Liverpool, Origi has proven himself to be more than useful in the past year and he will have the likes of Mane and Firmino to support him up front. If Liverpool can get at United’s backline, any of those three are capable of causing problems.
