Teams Preview
Liverpool FC Preview
Arne Slot and his side find themselves in a tough spot, coming into the clash on the back of consecutive league defeats. And three across all competitions. To put things in perspective, Liverpool only suffered their second loss of the entire 2024/25 season in their 35th match back in May 2025.
So far this season, Liverpool have leaned on late goals to salvage performances plagued by defensive lapses, poor game control, and vulnerability to counter-attacks. What they’re missing is an elite No. 6—someone like Caicedo or Zubimendi—who can anchor the midfield. Despite attempts to sign such players, the moves fell through, leaving Slot to figure out a solution before the gap to Arsenal widens further.
Stats that matter
1. It was the first time since the 2023/24 season that Liverpool had lost back-to-back games in the Premier League.
2. Despite their struggles away, Liverpool remain formidable at Anfield, boasting an impressive 20-game unbeaten streak in home league matches.
3. Mohamed Salah is averaging 2.0 shots per 90 in the league season, dropping from 3.4 last season.
Team News
Doubts loom over Ibrahima Konaté and Ryan Gravenberch, who both withdrew from their national squads during the international break, while Alisson, Wataru Endo, and Giovanni Leoni are confirmed sidelined.
Liverpool Probable XI - Mamardashvili (GK); Bradley, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez (Defenders); Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Writz ( Midfielders); Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak (Forwards).
Manchester United FC Preview
The international break couldn’t have come at a tougher time for Manchester United. They head into the clash fresh off a 2-0 win over Sunderland, but now face a Liverpool side that has had weeks to assess their issues.
United’s challenge is compounded by their struggle to win back-to-back games and a barren record at Anfield—their last win there came in 2016, when Rooney scored the decisive goal. Amorim knows claiming three points at hostile Anfield will be a tall order and might settle for a hard-earned draw to build momentum.
Stats that matter
1. Amorim became the 1st United manager to win his 50th game in charge since Alex Ferguson.
2. Man United have won just once in their last 12 away matches in all competitions.
3. More than 2.5 goals have been scored in United’s last three away matches across competitions.
Team News
The Red Devils head into the clash with a healthier squad than their hosts. Noussair Mazraoui has returned to training after joining up with Morocco, while Lisandro Martinez is back in team sessions, though this match may come too soon for him.
Manchester United Probable XI - Lammens (GK); Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Dorgu ( Defenders); Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo (Midfielders); Sesko, Mbeumo, Cunha ( Forwards)
LIVERPOOL FC vs MANCHESTER UNITED FC
Winning PredictionUnder normal circumstances, Liverpool would be overwhelming favourites at Anfield, given their stellar record against Manchester United. But recent away losses have raised questions, and last time, Amorim’s under-pressure side held the Reds to a 2-2 draw.
