Liverpool vs Manchester United

Liverpool will be aiming to snap out of a recent slump when they host Manchester United in an English Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The Reds will come into this clash keen to make it count in front of their fans, while they also boast a solid record in this fixture. They should have the edge over the visitors, who are poor on their travels.

Liverpool News

Things went awry for Liverpool prior to the international break as they suffered three straight defeats across all competitions. The champions lost 3-1 at Chelsea in their previous Premier League fixture.

While things have undoubtedly been rough for Liverpool lately, the good news is that they have not fallen too far behind, sitting just one point behind leaders Arsenal. Having been on the road for those three matches, Arne Slot's team return to Anfield, where they have won all five of their matches this term.

Liverpool will be targeting a fast start on Sunday to settle the nerves and have scored the first goal in the first half in four of their last five home matches. However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in all four fixtures.

Manchester United News

Manchester United climbed into the top 10 after claiming a 2-0 home victory over Sunderland last time out in the Premier League. They struck both goals in the first half, thanks to goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko, and were able to hold on for the win.

The Red Devils are yet to secure successive Premier League wins under manager Ruben Amorim and will look to use the result over Sunderland as a springboard. However, they often struggle on their travels and are winless in their last four away matches across all competitions.

Manchester United will be pleased with the recent form of Sesko, who has been on target in the last two matches. However, they often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

Liverpool have six wins and three draws, while Manchester United have been victorious three times in the last 12 matches. The hosts were held to a 2-2 home draw in the last meeting back in January.

Verdict

Liverpool v Man Utd

Despite all their recent problems, Anfield has remained a fortress for Liverpool this season. Having won all five of their home matches so far, they should claim the upper hand over Manchester United, who often struggle on their travels.

Neither defence has been convincing this season, and both teams are expected to score on Saturday. Liverpool have scored the first goal in the first half in four of their last five matches and should maintain their fast start on Sunday.
