Man United vs Liverpool: Klopp's side play basketball ahead of crunch match
Written by Ibitoye Shittu

- Man United vs Liverpool's tough Premier League game will hold on Sunday, October 20

- Liverpool players were spotted casually enjoying a basketball game days to the clash against Manchester United

- Many online users took it as a sly dig at the Red Devils for their poor form

- United currently lie in 12th place on the log while Liverpool are runaway leaders with eight wins from eight

All eyes will be on Old Trafford on Sunday, October 20, as Liverpool gear up for a classic fixture against age-old rivals Manchester United.

It will be the first time the two sides are facing each other while miles apart as far as their fortunes are concerned, and bookmakers tip the game to be heavily one-sided, despite the history.


In the build up to the game, an interesting image surfaced online on Thursday, October 17, of Liverpool players enjoying themselves in the most hilarious fashion.

With a game of so much history and bitter rivalry in the horizon, one would expect both sides to be on their best form as they prepare for the showdown.

That seems not to be the case with Liverpool as they were casually enjoying some time off football to catch up on some basketball, less than 72 hours to the Super Sunday game.

The scenes typically ignited hilarious reactions from Twitter users who assumed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is so bad such that Liverpool needed no thorough preparation for the game.

Jurgen Klopp’s side came close last season but were unable to beat leaders Manchester City to the finish line, coming off short by a single point.

Defender Virgil Van Dijk recently spoke on their title winning chances as he emphasized his team had nothing to lose at this point as they were not the defending champions.

"I don't think we have anything to lose. Man City are the champions, they're defending their title and we want to get it. In my point of view, we just have to go for it,” the Dutch international was quoted by Sky Sports.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Liverpool defender Andy Robertson warned his team-mates Manchester United will not be an easy opponent when the two sides face off in a Premier League clash on Sunday, October 20.

The match comes at a time Man United are struggling for form having picked just two wins in eight matches of the new season.
