Manchester United vs Liverpool: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Manchester United are set to host Liverpool in a blockbuster match in the Premier League Matchday three round at the Old Trafford on Sunday. Can the Reds get revenge for their FA last season’s defeat?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United’s recent form has been inconsistent. The Red Devils started the season strongly by defeating Fulham 1-0 at Old Trafford on opening day, thanks to their new signing, Joshua Zirkzee. However, in their second league game, United couldn’t maintain their winning form despite a strong performance and ended up suffering a 2-1 away defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium last weekend.
Erik Ten Hag hopes his team displays determination and resilience against in-form Liverpool. Notably, both Premier League matches between these sides last season ended.
Tottenham Preview & Form
Liverpool begins their third Premier League tie in higher spirits as the Reds, now under the guidance of Arne Slot, have already notched up back-to-back wins. Arne Slot kicked off his reign in charge of Liverpool with a hard-fought 2-0 win over newly promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road. The Reds made it two consecutive wins in the Premier League as they eased 2-0 past Brentford at the Anfield stadium. However, the trip to Old Trafford will represent the first Premier League biggest challenge under Arne Slot, and he will be hoping his side can continue their brilliant form.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Team News
Manchester United is still missing some of their new recruits: Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, and Luke Shaw are sidelined.
Mason Mount, the midfielder, is also expected to miss the next few games due to a hamstring problem, which could mean that summer addition Joshua Zirkzee will make his first start.
On the other hand, for Liverpool, the only real concern is the availability of Curtis Jones, while new addition Federico Chiesa is expected to be on the bench with an unchanged starting eleven.
