Brad Jones is expected to step in at Old Trafford.
Simon Mignolet is set to be dropped for Liverpool’s game against Manchester United at Old Trafford this lunchtime, with Brad Jones taking the place of the Belgian goalkeeper, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Mignolet’s form has come under fire this season as the Reds have struggled for clean sheets.
Brendan Rodgers is expected to make a move for either Petr Cech or Asmir Begovic in the New Year, but for the moment could turn to former Middlesbrough ‘keeper Jones.
Liverpool could also start with Raheem Sterling as a lone centre-forward against their most bitter rivals, with Rickie Lambert failing to convince in the absences of Daniel Sturridge and the disappointing Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli, linked with a return to Inter Milan in January, could return to the bench.
