Liverpool will not want to miss the opportunity to face struggling Manchester United
One real downside of delaying this match might be that this seems like an ideal time for Liverpool to take on Manchester United.
Ruben Amorim's side are in very poor form, while Liverpool are flying and will be confident of a win this afternoon if the match is not postponed.

Arne Slott's side will also not want to miss out on the opportunity to move further ahead of Arsenal in the title race after the Gunners dropped points yesterday.
