We’re obviously looking at Ruben Amorim as well as Aston Villa and Liverpool against Real Madrid, while Kyle Walker’s legs look set to be tested again.

Match to watch: Liverpool vs Real Madrid
After a win over the European champions on Wednesday, we expect Arne Slot’s naysayers – including a select group of Predecessor-obsessed Liverpool fans – to claim that the Reds have yet to beat a real team this season because they are not what they are Were or Jude Bellingham’s “A Fraud” or Kylian Mbappe’s “Made Them Sh*T” or something equally gripping and absurd.

On the other hand, we’re also preparing for the ridiculously premature quadruple chat that’s sure to occur if Liverpool beat Madrid in a game that doesn’t really matter since the Reds have all but secured automatic qualification anyway, and then beat Manchester City on Sunday (not a real team either, if you ask).

Given the narrative nonsense and lack of risk-taking, despite our aversion to change, it’s hard not to be grateful for a change in competition that means Liverpool can play Real Madrid at Anfield in November. We plead guilty to wanting to watch good footballers play football.

Manager to watch: Ruben Amorim
We literally watched him on Sunday and it’s safe to say he’s the manager to keep an eye on until we say otherwise. He’s captivating enough as it is considering he’s leading an underperforming team that’s playing in a completely new style and with the majority of players fighting for their future.

At the beginning of his tenure at United, Amorim managed to create a very extraordinary situation in which performances and even results do not play a special role. He’s said “identity” is the priority – which makes perfect sense, by the way – and apparently everyone’s willing to watch United look a bit crappy for a while in search of that self-confidence.

Erik ten Hag has given him a difficult job for virtually every reason imaginable; One of these is their poor results in Europe, which means Amorim probably feels he can’t rotate too often in games like this against Bodo/Glimt – who are actually above United in the Europa League table – although He would like to be in such a position to make sweeping changes in order to see as many of his new players as quickly as possible.

However, he will certainly be looking at some of them, with Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Rasmus Hojlund certainly pushing for a place in his starting XI.

Team to watch: Aston Villa
They really need something to get them going again. Their last win in any competition came against Bologna over a month ago. With this win they maintained their 100 percent record in the Champions League, while they were in fourth place in the Premier League, four points behind fourth place. Everything went smoothly.

No longer. Villa are now eighth12 points behind Liverpool after taking two points from four Premier League games and defeat to Club Brugge erased their European example.

Away defeats at Tottenham and Liverpool give perspective to those with their finger on the big red crisis button and the Champions League defeat, while frustrating, still leaves Villa in the automatic qualification places.

There’s no need to panic yet, but Villa fans probably feel they’re on the verge of relegation and Juventus can be their dog in a fervent atmosphere at Villa Park on Wednesday. Just like it was when they beat another European giant, FC Bayern Munich.

Player to Watch: Kyle Walker
He chose the wrong time of year to launch the You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker podcast and we’re wondering if the production company is now recommending the use of the past tense in a title change, meaning he Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe and others with it has a bag torn through by Timo Werner on Sunday to the point where his shorts were left in a tattered mess around his ankles.

Pep Guardiola played Rico Lewis in front of him against Tottenham to protect Manchester City’s protector for the last seven seasons, but the academy product can do nothing as Walker uses his leaden-legged “Go On Then, Beat Me” schtick on a footballer who it may well be faster than him, even if he hasn’t played 89 minutes more.

When he plays on Tuesday, Walker will likely face Igor Paixao, who is firmly in the “no slouch” category among wingers and has probably been Feyenoord’s best player this season with three goals and 10 assists in 18 games.

The 24-year-old, who was signed by Arne Slot two years ago and has been linked with Liverpool in the summer, will certainly see a clash with Manchester City as a great chance to attract the Premier League’s attention, even if he can now beat Walker in a race far removed from the badge of honor it once was.

EFL game to watch: Wrexham v Lincoln City
Leaders Wycombe beat Lincoln 3-2 last time out and look set to get away as League One has won nine games in a row to open up a four-point lead over second-placed Wrexham.

Lincoln are currently eliminated from the play-offs on goal difference and defeating their back-to-back promotion chasers will see them close to within two points of the Welsh side.
