Key Stats
Manchester United
The 13-time PL champions will be looking to grab a win after suffering their first defeat of the 2024/25 season. A loss for United would mean the Red Devils have lost three straight PL matches at Old Trafford. Alongside losing their PL game, Manchester United suffered an injury to their midfielder Mason Mount who came out in the halftime and is expected to miss a few games. The Englishman joins an injury list with Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Rasmus Hojlund, and Liverpool.
With the absence of Mount, Zirkzee is expected to make his full debut to play alongside captain Bruno Fernandes. United were able to sign Manuel Ugarte, but he is unlikely to feature on Sunday as the club works on finalizing his paperwork.
Expected lineup: Onana, De Ligt, Mazraoui, Martinez, Dalot, Mainoo, Casemiro, Diallo, Fernandes, Garnacho, and Zirkzee.
Liverpool
Liverpool completed the signing of Federico Chiesa, a deal completed on time and could see him make his debut at Old Trafford. Curtis Jones is injured and was unable to make the trip to Manchester. This game will be an important game for Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk who plays his 200th game for the Merseyside club. Many pundits did not pick Liverpool to challenge City and Arsenal, but they have started the premier league season strong.
Expected lineup: Allison, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Diaz, and Jota.
Prediction
Liverpool comes into this game as favorites after winning all the premier league games so far in the season. The Merseyside giants have scored four goals in the last two games, without conceding a single goal. On the other hand, Manchester United has struggled in front of the goal, scoring one goal each in their last two matches. The Red Devils came close to scoring 2 goals in their match against Brighton but ended up losing the game.
Final Pick
Liverpool (ML), -120
