"Liverpool went into the international break with their indifferent performances having caught up with them. After scraping to last-gasp victories early on in the campaign, the Reds suffered three straight defeats in the space of a week, losing to Crystal Palace and Chelsea in the league, either side of going down to Galatasaray in Europe. Arne Slot will be desperate for his team to get back on track quickly."
"Indeed, Liverpool have lost just one of their last 14 Premier League meetings with the Red Devils (W7 D6), a 1-2 defeat at Old Trafford in August 2022. Since the start of 2018-19, this is the fewest defeats any side to face United three or more times in the competition has had against them. United are winless in their last nine Premier League games at Anfield since a 1-0 win in January 2016 under Louis van Gaal (D5 L4)."
"United, meanwhile, have alternated between winning and losing in their last four games. They beat Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford last time out to head into the international window on a high. However, a crisis never seems far away for Ruben Amorim, who could do with a big result to show his team really are on the right course."
Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield as the Reds seek to halt a run of poor results. Liverpool suffered three straight defeats in a week, falling to Crystal Palace and Chelsea in the league and to Galatasaray in Europe. Arne Slot needs a quick response to prevent early slipping in the title race and could be several points behind the leaders depending on other results. Manchester United have alternated wins and losses recently and beat Sunderland 2-0 before the break. Ruben Amorim remains under pressure and requires a strong result to signal progress. Opta data highlights Liverpool’s recent dominance over United.
