Watch United’s Under-18s play Liverpool live on MUTV
THE SCENE-SETTER
Three points separate the two sides in the Under-18 Premier League North table, with United in third and Liverpool in sixth. Binnion’s side have played three less games than the Merseysiders, and sit eight points off top spot, which is currently occupied by Manchester City.
United won 3-2 away to Blackburn last time out, with Jayce Fitzgerald, Daniel Kavanagh and Jack Kingdon scoring our goals.
Liverpool, on the other hand, come into Saturday’s match on the back of a 2-2 draw in the Merseyside derby, against Everton last week.
We last met with this weekend’s opponents in our second game of the season, back in August. Liverpool won that one 4-2 on home soil, and our young Reds will no doubt want to put that right when our rivals visit Carrington this weekend.
