Manchester United and Liverpool face each other at Old Trafford on Sunday and no one really knows how the game will end.
Honestly, that’s never the case when these teams meet.
WATCH MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL LIVE
Liverpool are the favourites, and rightly so, but their record at Old Trafford is not great and United have what it takes to cause big upsets when nobody expects them, like they did last season in their 4-3 extra-time FA Cup quarter-final win over Liverpool.
Erik ten Hag’s United have a host of new players in their squad and the Dutch manager can call on fresh support from the club’s INEOS-run football department, but after last weekend’s defeat at Brighton, a positive result ahead of the international break could do him a world of good.
MANCHESTER UNITED – LIVERPOOL – PREVIEW
Liverpool’s new head coach Arne Slot has had a very comfortable start at Anfield, with two routine wins in the Premier League and so far everything seems to be going very smoothly following the departure of Jürgen Klopp this summer.
But a win at Old Trafford would be a clear message for Slot and would strengthen the belief that Liverpool could be title contenders this season.

Prediction Manchester United vs Liverpool
This will probably be a lot closer than we all expect, but it’s hard to overlook Liverpool with Mohamed Salah in such good form. This will be a different game to those we’ve seen in recent years as Slots Liverpool won’t leave as many gaps on the counter as Klopp’s Liverpool. This impacts United’s counterattacking strategy, but they could clog up the midfield with two false nines, which has worked well in recent games against Liverpool and Manchester City. Still, Liverpool have more quality and cohesion and don’t have the injury problems in defence that United have struggled with. Manchester United – Liverpool 0-2.
