Gary Neville was the first to break the silence. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his voice was steady and powerful: "Dear audience friends, today we have ushered in a highly anticipated duel. The collision between Manchester United and Liverpool is always full of passion and sparks. Now, let's analyze the lineups of both sides.

First, let's look at Manchester United: In the goalkeeper position, David De Gea, as the captain, his strength and experience are beyond words. De Gea's reaction speed and saving ability on the goal line have always been world-class. He will be the last solid line of defense in Manchester United's back line. And the substitute goalkeeper Christian Romero is also a very good goalkeeper. His presence provides more guarantees for Manchester United's goalkeeper position."

Neville paused slightly and continued: "In the back line, Theo Fernandes, Raphael Varane, Ruben Dias, Ashraf Hakimi, Kepler Laveran Lima Ferre Ra (Pepe) and Diogo Dalot, this back line can be said to have both strength and experience. In my personal judgment, the two wingers should be Theo Fernandes and Ashraf Hakimi. Theo Fernandes's offensive ability on the left side is very good, and his assists will add more firepower to Manchester United's offense. Ashraf Hakimi's speed and breakthrough ability on the right side are also very strong, and he will bring more width to Manchester United's offense. Diogo Dalot is a young defender who can play on both sides. He will be a panacea for Manchester United's wing defense. As for the three central defenders, Raphael Varane, Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) and Ruben Dias are all world-class central defenders. Their defensive abilities are unquestionable. It depends on the final consideration of the head coach Mourinho for the entire game.

Neville turned his eyes to the midfield and said, "Manchester United's midfield lineup is also very strong. Marco Verratti, Dani Olmo, Bruno Fernandez, Rodrigo Hernandez, Aureliano Chuameni and Nico Williams are all midfielders with excellent skills and creativity. Verratti has very high organizational skills and passing accuracy, and he will be the commander of Manchester United's midfield. Olmo and Williams are also very strong in breaking through and cutting inside on the wing, and they will bring more changes to Manchester United's offense. Bruno Fernandez's offensive ability is needless to say, and his long-range shooting and passing abilities are very good. Rodrigo Hernandez and Aureliano Chuameni are two very good defensive midfielders, and their presence will add to Manchester United'sThe back line provides more protection. "

In my personal judgment, Manchester United's starting midfielder should be Marco Verratti, Bruno Fernandez, Rodrigo Hernandez or Dani Olmo, and Aurelien Chuameni and Nico Williams will be the X factors for head coach Mourinho to make lineup adjustments according to the changes in the on-site situation.

Neville's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, and continued: "On the forward line, Cody Gakpo, Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford and Erling Haaland, this forward line can be said to be full of offensive power. Gakpo's speed and skills are very good, and he will be a sharp blade in Manchester United's offense. Cavani is an experienced striker with a very strong shooting ability and point-grabbing awareness.

Carragher turned his eyes to the screen and said, "In the goalkeeper position of Liverpool, Alisson Becker is a world-class goalkeeper with excellent reaction speed and save ability. On the back line, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, James Milner, Dejan Lovren and Alberto Moreno, this back line is also experienced and strong. The central defender combination of Matip and Van Dijk is very stable, and their defensive ability and leadership will be the core of Liverpool's back line. Robertson and Moreno are also very strong in attacking on the wing, and their assists will add more firepower to Liverpool's offense. Milner and Lovren are two very experienced defenders, and their presence provides more protection for Liverpool's defense. "

Carragher turned his attention to the midfield and said: "Liverpool's midfield lineup is also very strong. Jordan Henderson, Fabio Enrique Tavares, Giorginio Wijnaldum, Xherdan Shaqiri, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana are all technically excellent and creative midfielders. Henderson is the captain of Liverpool, and his leadership and defensive abilities are very good. Tavares and Wijnaldum are also very strong in offense, and their passing and shooting abilities are very good. Shaqiri, Chamberlain and Lallana are three very creative midfielders, and their breakthrough and passing abilities will bring more changes to Liverpool's offense. "

Carragher's eyes revealed a hint of confidence, and he continued: "On the forward line, Roberto Firmino, Divock Origi, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, this forward line can be said to be full of attacking power. Firmino's organizational ability and passing ability are very good, and he will be the core figure in Liverpool's offense.
