Liverpool v Man Utd: Match Preview

One of the Premier League's most iconic rivalries takes place this Sunday afternoon, when Man Utd travel the short distance to Anfield to take on arch rivals Liverpool.

This match is always one that sparks fierce debate, excitement and anticipation from football fans all over the World, with the next instalment promising to be no different.

Even though 2 of the last 3 matches have ended in draws, Liverpool are having a stronger season than Man Utd, and it’s easy to see why bookmakers offer them as favourites.

Despite a recent dip in form seeing them lose 3 in a row, Liverpool are still difficult to beat at Anfield, and Arne Slot will also be determined to get them back on track with a win over United.

Liverpool are still among the frontrunners for the Premier League title, but they really need to tighten up defensively, develop some consistency, and manage the squad's fitness.

If they can steady their form, especially in challenging away fixtures, and get their new signings fully firing, they are well‑placed to compete for the title or at least secure a top‑two finish.

Man Utd on the other hand appear to be consistently inconsistent as they've developed a pattern of winning matches, but then losing the next irrespective of who they're playing.

This needs to change sharpish, as they're simply not performing to the levels expected of Man Utd with the their new signings yet to hit the form that they showed last season.

In the lead up to Liverpool v Man Utd, we've taken a look at both team’s recent performances, and any player injuries that could affect either managers match preparations.

Liverpool v Man Utd will be broadcast live on Sky Sports at 4:30pm on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool: Team News

Unfortunately it looks like Liverpool may have a few injury concerns heading into their first match after the international break against Man Utd on Sunday afternoon.

One of the biggest is Alisson Becker, who didn’t play for Brazil against South Korea and Japan during the internationals. His hamstring injury is likely to sideline him for a few more weeks.

Ibrahima Konate is also set to miss the derby against Man Utd, after he was unable to finish Liverpool's last Premier League match against Chelsea due to a thigh injury.

Hopefully Wataru Endo iand Ryan Gravenberch, who has also struggled with a hamstring injury in recent weeks, will be back in contention for this weekend’s match.

The summer transfer window saw Liverpool making big changes to their squad: notably Alexander Isak arriving from Newcastle for a record fee, and Trent leaving for Real Madrid.

There has also been big expectations surrounding Florian Wirtz, a high‑profile signing from Bayer Leverkusen, but his stats so far this season have been largely disappointing.

Despite not matching last years performances, Liverpool have been in a solid position since the start of the season, and come into the Man Utd game sitting in 2nd place in the table.

Under the stewardship of Arne Slot, they've continued to evolve, blending experience with youthful energy and have displayed a mixed blend of defensive frailties and attacking flair.

With 15 points from 7 matches, Liverpool are well within reach of the top spot despite a mixture of strong victories and frustrating losses, most recently against Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

In terms of attacking play, Liverpool's front three, led by Mohamed Salah, have continued to deliver, albeit in less impressive manor than consistently displayed last season.

Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, and Dominik Szoboszlai have offered creativity and balance, though questions remain about their ability to dominate games consistently.

However, it's the defence that has raised the most concerns this season, with Slot yet to settle on a regularly starting back four. Virgil van Dijk’s leadership remains crucial, but the support from the rest of the defence has been inconsistent.

It was thought that new signings Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez would improve the defence, but both have struggled, with Frimpong still yet to establish himself as a regular starter.

Liverpool: Form

Looking at the last 5 fixtures that Liverpool have played in all competitions, they've won 2, drawn 0, and lost 3 scoring a total of 6 goals (1.2 goals per game) and conceding 7 times.

Man Utd: Team News

With the expected return of Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez, it looks as if Ruben Amorim will have nearly a full squad to choose from for the short trip to Anfield.

Lisandro Martinez has been struggling to regain form after suffering a cruciate ligament injury, but there's hope that he will be back in the squad for this weekend’s match.

Noussair Mazraoui hasn’t played since September 20th, and If he doesn’t experience any further setbacks, the defender could also make his 4th appearance of the season against Liverpool.

After finishing in 15th place last season, Man Utd's worst in the Premier League era, Amorim had positioned the new season as one to rebuild the squad and improve confidence.

Despite many new signings, unfortunately this hasn’t happened and Man Utd have had a turbulent start to their campaign, and come into Sunday's derby sitting in 10th place.

Amorim’s side have only secured 10 points from 7 matches with their form erratic.

They’ve shown glimpses of brilliance, especially in attacking play, but have struggled with consistency. In particular, United’s defence has been shaky, and has lacked solidity.

Man Utd have conceded way too many goals, and their inability to keep clean sheets has been a constant issue, with their first only coming in their 2-0 win against Sunderland on October 4th.

Despite signing the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, scoring also remains an issue.

After only finding the net on 44 occasions last season, expectations were that new attacking faces would help. But early indications suggest the scoring drought hasn’t fully lifted.

Man Utd's top scorers so far this season are new signing Benjamin Šeško, and imminent club legend Bruno Fernandes, with both only finding the back of the net on two occasions.

As of now, the 2025/26 Premier League season is one of repair and recalibration for United.

They're not title contenders, and a top-four finish looks ambitious. But climbing from last seasons 15th place finish into a stable mid/top‑six position, may be seen as progress.

The stakes are rising: the team must start stringing together consistent performances, find more goals, and reduce the errors that are leading to silly goals, and a lack of clean sheets.

If Amorim can impose structure and unlock the teams attacking potential, then fans may see signs of a genuine revival. But the margin for error is thin, and the longer Man Utd linger in mediocrity, the more the pressure will be mounting behind the scenes.

Man Utd: Form

Man Utd's record over their last 5 matches in all competitions is won 3, drawn 0 and lost 2. They've scored more goals than Liverpool, 8 in total (1.6 per game), but conceded more (9).

The biggest win that Liverpool have ever had over North West rivals Man Utd in the Premier League occurred on the 5th of March in 2023, when they hammered them 7-0 at Anfield.

Amazingly Cody Gakpo only opened the scoring for Liverpool just before half-time in the 43rd minute. A couple of goals for both Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Salah, another for Gakpo and then Roberto Firmino in the 88th minute saw Liverpool record their record win over United.

The highest score that Man Utd have ever beaten Liverpool by in the Premier League was the 4-0 win on the 5th of April back in 2003, when they played each other at Old Trafford.

A couple of penalties for Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the 5th and 65th minute, and then goals from club legend Ryan Giggs and then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer compounding Liverpool's misery.
