Bitter inter-city rivals Manchester United and Liverpool will close the happenings in Matchday No 3 of the Premier League with their mouth-watering clash on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford.
Liverpool enter the tie in higher spirits after two brilliant performances and clean-sheet wins over Ipswich Town and Brentford.
Nevertheless, the trip to the Theatre of Dreams will represent the biggest challenge yet for Arne Slot and his troops.
Manchester United began the season with a 1-0 win over Fulham courtesy of a late winner from substitute Joshua Zirkzee.
Zirkzee was to blame for the comic offside call on Alejandro Garnacho’s goal last weekend at Brighton. The Red Devils ended up losing that match 1-2 at The Amex although the scoreline would have probably be much different had Garnacho’s goal stood.
Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have been much more successful in recent years. Manchester United’s fans can still remember the painful 0-7 defeat at the Anfield in March 2023.
However, the Red Devils did beat Liverpool 4-3 in extra-time on the way to the FA Cup title last season.
Liverpool claimed a 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the pre-season exhibition a month ago on the US soil, though.
Liverpool look phenomenal under Slot at the start of the season. They seem to have much more control and they look much tougher to break down than it was the case under Jurgen Klopp in previous years.
