How Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer exposed Liverpool weaknesses and forced Jurgen Klopp into a tactical rethink
The Manchester United had struggled throughout the season and despite encouraging underlying numbers a lack of threat in front of goal had generated a sense of unease around Old Trafford.
Contrast that with the environment at close neighbours Liverpool as they came into this match with an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table after just eight matches.
Pressure has been building on United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Norwegian has been searching for the key to unlocking the attacking potential in this squad.
He has been accused of lacking imagination from a tactical point of view but this match will put a stop to those accusations at the very least.
Liverpool have impressed this season, to a point, it is difficult to be overly negative about a side that have an eight-point advantage at this early stage of the season.

With that said, however, there have been matches already this season, against Sheffield United and Southampton in particular where Liverpool have won despite not being at their best.
When any of the first-choice front three are not available from the start there is a definite sense that the Liverpool system does not quite click.
