"Liverpool appeared to be on course to retain the crown they won last season but back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, either side of a Champions League loss at Galatasaray - means Arne Slot's team look uncharacteristically vulnerable coming into this game. United continue to fluctuate between half-decent and downright awful. They still haven't won back-to-back league games under Ruben Amorim and, until that changes, a return to the Champions League appears a distant dream."
"Although he has had little chance to shine at Liverpool yet, his performances for Valencia and Georgia get him the nod. United's goalkeepers have been a shambles for some time but Senne Lammens appears to have the right credentials. The Belgian did well against Sunderland on his debut but the assessment of that display could have been very different had he been pulled up for a blatant foul on the visitors' Bertrand Traoré in the second half."
Liverpool and Manchester United meet at Anfield with United having not won there for almost a decade and Liverpool winning two Premier League titles in that period. Liverpool appeared set to retain the title but recent defeats to Crystal Palace and Chelsea, plus a Champions League loss at Galatasaray, have left the team looking vulnerable. Manchester United continue to fluctuate under Ruben Amorim and have not won consecutive league games, making Champions League qualification unlikely for now. A provisional combined best XI is proposed, with Giorgi Mamardashvili preferred in goal and Senne Lammens noted for a promising debut.
