Liverpool vs Man United live: Team news and updates from Premier League clash – UK Times

Arne Slot’s champions began the season with five straight wins but have lost their last two games causing them to drop below Arsenal and surrender the lead they had built up over their rivals.

Those two league defeats also sandwich a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League making this three-match losing run the longest of Slot’s managerial career so far.

In contrast, Man Utd come into the game on the back of a 2-0 victory over Sunderland in what was, perhaps, their strongest performance of the season. Ruben Amorim’s side remain massively inconsistent but they have pushed into the top half of the table and are aiming to improve their recent record against top six opposition.

One could hardly describe this as a meeting of Premier League equals but the rivalry still burns between Liverpool and Manchester United. Richard Jolly sets the scene for a clash that could prove highly consequential.

Liverpool and Manchester United collide in a meeting of old rivals at Anfield with the hosts bidding to end a rare losing run. Three defeats on the spin for the first time under Arne Slot left Liverpool reeling slightly before the international break – can they rebound in a fixture that always brings a little extra edge?

Kick off at Anfield is at 4.30pm BST.
