Man Utd v Liverpool

Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

Manchester United seemed to be heading for a point down on the south coast last weekend as the scores were level at 1-1 against Brighton at the MEX Stadium but up stepped Joao Pedro to score a last-gasp winner for The Seagulls, while Liverpool registered a second 2-0 win on the trot with a victory gained at home over Brentford at Anfield to grab the all-important three points.

Manchester United had previously produced a winning start to the new Premier League season with a not entirely convincing 1-0 home win against Fulham in the English top flight curtain-raiser but nevertheless it had brought Erik ten Hag's side a third league win on the trot following wins towards the end of last season against Newcastle United and Brighton.

However, the Red Devils have managed to capture just four wins from their last 12 matches in the domestic top flight which included an earlier 4-2 home win against Sheffield United but also includes slipping to four defeats as well, but results on home soil at Old Trafford in recent times have seen Manchester United succumb to just three defeats in their last 14 home games, which gives the hosts a chance of getting something from this upcoming mouthwatering encounter.

Liverpool will be going in search of a third league win on the trot under their new manager Arne Slot after The Reds have produced a promising start to this new Premier League campaign by collecting back-to-back wins against the likes of Newcastle United and Fulham, both of which were on home soil at Anfield.

Liverpool claimed a third place finish at the end of last season's efforts and secured a place in this season's Champions League and the merseyside visitors also bring a six-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash at Old Trafford which extends back into the latter stages of last term.

Four wins in their last six games overall include previous wins against Tottenham and Wolves towards the end of the last campaign while the bigger picture shows The Reds have suffered just two defeats in their previous 17 league matches and consists of picking up 11 wins in the process.

In addition, Liverpool have slipped to just two defeats in their last 16 outings on the road which were at Arsenal and Everton along with eight wins and six draws, so the possibility of a stalemate against their old rivals Manchester United also cannot be ruled out here.

Manchester United v Liverpool Verdict
