The first major rivalry clash takes place this weekend when Liverpool make the short journey to Old Trafford to play rivals Liverpool. Arne Slot is two wins from two games into his stint as Liverpool manager, but Manchester United represents a big step-up from Crystal Palace and Brentford.
Meanwhile, it’s been a mixed start for Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United this season. An opening day win against Fulham, albeit in the 87th minute, was followed up by a late loss away at Brighton last weekend. Defeat to Liverpool on Sunday would leave Ten Hag wounded, despite receiving a new contract and significant backing this summer. The United manager has enjoyed the better fortune against the Reds since arriving at Old Trafford, but when they’ve lost, they’ve lost badly, including 7-0, 5-0 and 4-0 losses.
Manchester United vs Liverpool Predictions
Based on this season’s form alone, it wouldn’t be a total surprise to see Liverpool win this match. Slot’s team currently sit fourth in the table and are yet to concede a goal, while Manchester United are currently 11th. However, as it’s still nervy in the season, this game could easily play out as a score draw.
