We are in fine form at the moment and are unbeaten in our past several games in all competitions. We can certainly go into the game against United believing that we have what it takes to win.
We have been handed an injury boost as defender Andy Robertson has been declared fit to play the Premier League clash against Manchester United today. Going into the game, we trail Jose Mourinho’s second-placed side by just two points.

The Scotland international was forced to miss training earlier this week after picking up a knock during our 2-0 triumph over Newcastle United. Robertson has been in brilliant form recently and has managed to usurp Alberto Moreno as our first choice left-back.
He is likely to get the opportunity to start against the Red Devils.
Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, is likely to also get the go-ahead after suffering a knock against Porto along with Georginio Wijnaldum who has been struggling with illness.

While Nathaniel Clyne is still not ready to make a return, we do have Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez available in that position and the duo has proven that it’s capable of playing at the highest level whenever the opportunities have been provided to them this season.
Though we are 18-points adrift of runaway leaders Manchester City, a win against one of our traditional arch-rivals will be a huge boost and will propel us further up the table.
