The greatest rivalry in English football resumes at Old Trafford. Manchester United are looking to recover from their defeat away at Brighton whilst Liverpool is on the hunt for a third straight victory under the guidance of the newly appointed coach Arne Slot who had huge shoes to fill following the departure of Jurgen Klopp but has done so with aplomb.
This is a battle of the Dutch mentors, Ten Haag and Arne Slot, they will all be looking to come out tops from this tough fixture. Liverpool are to yet concede winning 2-0 in both their opening fixtures. The Reds have firepower upfront, with the addition of Chiesa it is going to cause selection headaches for the coach.
The two teams met in pre-season and Liverpool came out victorious in a 3-nil hammering, however, the excuse is usually that pre-season is for trying out combinations and giving the academy players some minutes. However, Liverpool would want to build on this psychological advantage over their bitter rivals.
Manchester United will be looking to get goals from the likes of Rashford, new signing, Zirkzee with Hojlund currently nursing a muscle injury. On the other hand the Reds are spoilt for choice with the likes of Salah, Gakpo, Nunez and Diaz breathing fire. It will be an interesting match for the neutrals.
