Preview
Manchester United head into this after a 4-2 away loss against Leicester on the weekend which left winless in three Premier League matches.
Following that, United made a remarkable comeback from 2-0 down to beat Atalanta 3-2 in the Champions League in mid-week.
The battle against Liverpool seems to have come at the right time for the Red Devils as they eye improvement in their domestic league form.
United is in 6th place with 14 points from 8 matches.
On the other hand, Liverpool hope to continue their impressive start to the season as they are yet to taste a defeat in the EPL this campaign.
A 5-0 hammering of Watford followed by a slightly risky but effective 3-2 away win over Atletico Madrid ensured the Reds remain a force to reckon with.
Liverpool are 3rd in the EPL table with 18 points and one of the favourites for the title.
The stage is set when two of England’s oldest rivals face off in what is set to be a thriller.
Both sides last met in the EPL last season in mid-May where Liverpool beat United 4-2 at Old Trafford.

🗣️”I’ve never thought about that. Both are world class players. Ronaldo’s left foot is not that bad but Salah’s is better. Ronaldo better in the air and probably better right foot. Both quick and love to score goals.”

Prediction: Man United 3-2 Liverpool
This should be a goal-fest with United nicking the contest since they are the side under pressure to deliver.
The Red Devils tend to do well against the top 6 sides and capable of surprising on the big day.
Given that Liverpool have not got a strong defence, we expect their attack to do a lot of the work.
But since United’s the side on the backfoot, we see them deliver.
Players to watch out for: Ronaldo, Salah, Mane and Pogba.
