Manchester United will face their long-standing rivals Liverpool today at Old Trafford in a Premier League clash. Erik ten Hag’s team has experienced an inconsistent start to the season.
They showed promise in their opening win against Fulham, but their defensive frailties were exposed once again in their recent loss to Brighton. Another defeat today would only intensify the scrutiny on the Dutch manager and add pressure to his role.
On the other hand, Liverpool have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their campaign. Under the management of Arne Slot, the Reds have shown impressive form, although this fixture represents a significant challenge.
Federico Chiesa, a recent signing, may make his debut for Liverpool, though it is likely that he will only feature from the bench, if at all, in what is one of the most significant fixtures in English football.
Both managers will be keen to avoid heading into the upcoming international break with a loss, which should set the stage for a thrilling contest. Stay updated with all the latest action by following Standard Sport’s live match blog!
