Jose Mourinho Facing Injury Crisis With 9 Players Set to Miss Liverpool Clash on Sunday

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho looks set to be without nine first team players when his side travel to Merseyside to face rivals Liverpool in Sunday's derby.

Mourinho's growing injury list has increased at the wrong time with his side in dire need of a positive result at Anfield. They currently occupy sixth position in the division, eight points off the top four.

The Portuguese looks forced to play a centre half pairing of Eric Bailly and Phil Jones, who scored a comical own goal in United's defeat to Valencia, as Marcos Rojo, Victor Lindelof and Chris Smalling are all set to miss out.
