2. Mamadou Sakho vs. Wayne Rooney
A couple of goals in the 3-3 draw against Newcastle certainly gave the Rooney haters some time to cool off. The Manchester United captain has found the back of the net in recent times and he would be charged up to score against the old enemy but he would have to deal with the physicality of Mamadou Sakho.
The French defender doesn’t seem to be the best with the ball at his feet but when it comes to using his physicality against forwards, Sakho is right up there as one of the best. Jurgen Klopp would hope that the defender can keep Rooney quiet during the game and hopefully won’t be making those rather heart-stopping passes out of defence.
