Liverpool f.c.

It has been a tough day all around for Liverpool, with their U21 side losing to Manchester United in Premier League 2 on Saturday afternoon.

They have a chance to bounce back right away, though, as they face Braga in midweek before hosting Crystal Palace next weekend. They currently sit a single point behind Palace, who do have a game in hand over Liverpool. Liverpool missed a late chance through Melkamu Frauendorf as they could not find an equaliser. However, two goals from Joe Hugill saw United come back to win the match 2-1.
