Liverpool vs Man United preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

Arne Slot’s side are one point behind league leaders Arsenal, and the Red Devils will hope they can cause more damage ending their eight-match away winless run (2D, 6L).

Last season, it was until the 31st game week before Liverpool suffered their second league defeat, but they have already fallen twice in seven matches this season.

Including the 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League, the Reds have now lost three successive matches across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Manchester United returned to winning ways just before the break, beating Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford. 

Ruben Amorim’s men have alternated between losses and wins in their last five matches, and will be looking to win successive league matches for the first time in a while.

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 14 league meetings with United (7W, 6D), while the Red Devils are winless in their last nine league games at Anfield (5D, 4L).

The Reds could become the first side since Chelsea (2002-2012) to avoid defeat in 10+ successive league home games.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson will not return until next month, while Ibrahima Konate’s fitness is in doubt after withdrawing from the France squad during the international break.

Mohamed Salah has been involved in 19 Premier League goals against Man United, more than any other player in history, and he will be looking to add to that.

Giovanni Leoni (ACL) is a long-term absentee, while Wataru Endo is doubtful, though everyone else should be fine.

Noussair Mazraoui is in contention to return for Man United, while Ayden Heaven is doubtful.

Lisandro Martinez (knee) is still sidelined, while there are fears over Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha, who all missed training on Thursday.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili – Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez – Gravenberch, Jones – Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo – Ekitike

Man. United (3-4-2-1): Lammens – Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw – Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu – Mbeumo, Mount – Sesko

Liverpool are favourites in this clash due to their record at Anfield against the Red Devils, but there is still a chance for United, as the hosts have shown vulnerability at the back since the start of this season.

Bettors on Livescorebet can lean towards goal options. However, we expected the Reds to still edge this clash, due to their superior firepower in Salah, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-2 Man United
