We now shift our focus to one of the most important areas in any football match – the defense. Fortunately enough, football fans across the world will be privileged to watch two of the best defenders in the Premier League on Monday night when Liverpool take on Manchester United at Anfield.
The hosts boast of the no-nonsense Joel Matip, while the visitors bring in the hard-tackling Erick Bailly, who has already won at least three Man of the Match awards playing for Man Utd. Both Matip and Bailly joined the English giants over the summer, and have become a crucial part of the defence at their new clubs.
But despite this similarity, there are some differences in their style of play and performances for their respective clubs this season. The video below shows exactly how these two defenders compare to each other.
