Bold Manchester United vs. Liverpool predictions: Pressure forces Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to mix up his tactics

How will one of the biggest games of the Premier League season play out?
In what is invariably one of the biggest matches of the Premier League season, Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in a game that could have major ramifications at the top of the table. A win for Jurgen Klopp's visitors would open up a seven point margin between them and the Red Devils, who would find themselves playing catch up early in a season where three teams look like they could streak ahead. Here's what I'll be keeping an eye on on Sunday:
Another game, another bizarre win and yet more criticism, more of it fair than not, about the footballing identity or lack thereof that Manchester United have under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. When his side collapsed into a two goal deficit against Atalanta, and then rallied magnificently, but in the sort of fashion that seems sustainable to them alone, his response was to herald the result as one in keeping with the "DNA of this club." No one would expect him to chastise his players or go into great depth about the problems his side are facing, but some acknowledgement of the latter might help.
