Manchester United are full of confidence

This might be the perfect time for Manchester United to visit Liverpool.

The Red Devils come in to the match riding high on confidence. The same cannot be said for Klopp and his players.

It’s amazing how winning can instill an added belief in one’s ability. Take for example Marouane Fellaini. The midfielder moved to Manchester from Everton during David Moyes’ brief time as manager.

He struggled to live up to expectations and was often the whipping boy for frustrated United fans.

Under Mourinho this season Fellaini has been a revelation. He’s in the best form of his career.

United will be without Fellaini this weekend due to an injury suffered during the international break. Despite this, however, the United squad is deep and full of self-assurance.

The belief among Liverpool players is currently low. Whether that will change depends on the outcome of this match.
