"The Reds spent big money on bringing in Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, though it's now perhaps not too surprising to see him being dropped to the bench after struggling to make an impact. Wirtz looked like a world class talent at his former club, but he's barely made any kind of impact so far for Liverpool, and it seems Slot doesn't trust him for this important match today."
"Liverpool haven't been in the best form lately, but they'll surely be the big favourites to beat United this afternoon. The Red Devils are continuing to struggle under Ruben Amorim, whose tactics have often been a bit confusing and unsuited to the players he currently has. Still, it's a big rivalry, and United will surely be fired up and eager to make Liverpool's poor run continue."
Florian Wirtz has been named on the bench for Liverpool's match against Manchester United at Anfield despite a big summer transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. Wirtz looked like a world-class talent at his former club but has barely made an impact so far for Liverpool, prompting Arne Slot to prefer Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo in the starting front three. Fans may be disappointed but Wirtz likely needs time to adapt to a new club and league. Liverpool have been out of form recently but remain favorites, while Manchester United continue to struggle under Ruben Amorim in a heated rivalry.
