Where to watch Manchester United vs. Liverpool live stream, TV channel, lineups & Prediction | Premier League
The first encounter of the season between archnemesis Liverpool and Manchester United is ready to take place this Sunday at Old Trafford.
After cruising through the first two games of this PL season with the scorelines 0-2 against Ipswich Town and 2-0 against Brentford respectively, our mighty Reds are full of confidence.
Now, as the third matchday appears nearer, the Merseysiders are ready for another away game and this weekend they are making their trip to Manchester to face their bitter rivals Manchester United.
The hosts, however, are not in their best form, as they lost their last game against Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 despite winning their maiden game of the 2024-25 PL season against Fulham 1-0.
Liverpool are fourth in the PL points table with two victories and six points, similar to Manchester City, Brighton and Arsenal, only to be set apart by goal difference.
United on the other hand are placed 11th with three points and zero goal difference behind Fulham whom they beat in gameweek 1.
The Red Devils have only won one of their last twelve PL games against LFC of which five have gone undecided and six have been won by the Reds.
Another stat that might upset the Manchester faithful is that since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, MUFC have lost 13 of their 35 PL games played in the month of September.
These stats and past records will definitely motivate Arne Slot & Co. to push a bit more in their surge for the third consecutive victory.

Manchester United vs. Liverpool predicted lineup, team news
Manchester United
The red side of Manchester is still struggling under the management of Eric ten Hag, who hasn’t been blessed with the squad’s injury situations.
Unfortunately, the Dutch manager will miss out on several players such as Victor Lindelof, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount due to injury in this crucial match
However, on a positive note, their new striker Joshua Zirkzee is available to start who caught everyone’s eyes after his goal in the debut match in the MUFC strip.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee.
Liverpool
The Merseysiders have been in excellent form since the pre-season. The coaching of Slot seems to be working nicely as the boys have been thrashing opponents left, right and centre.
Diogo Jota, the current striker for the Anfield giants, although did not get any goal in the last game against Ipswich, is looking sharp with his movements and decision-making.
In his four encounters with the Manchester side in the LFC outfit, the Portuguese forward has scored twice and assisted once (stats via Transfermarkt).
And the star performer, Mohamed Salah has bagged two goals already in the two games and he will be eyeing to extend his goals tally further to edge closer to the top-scorer achievement.
The Reds have only one injury as Curtis Jones has suffered a knock. Slot is expected to not make any changes in the starting eleven after their commendable 2-0 victory against the Bees last week.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jota, Diaz.
Manchester United vs. Liverpool Prediction
LFC will play their first official United match of the Slot era, a match that holds much significance and prestige.
Ten Hag and his boys will also be looking to shield their respect who have been beaten brutally in the recent past by the Merseysiders.
This match is a must-win for both teams due to the high regard of this affair. But Liverpool undoubtedly have the greater odds of securing the victory.
Manchester United might again encounter a disappointing defeat after their 3-0 loss against the Reds in the pre-season friendly.
No team has had more shots (37) and higher xG (5.3) than the Anfield giants as well as the lowest xGA (1) in the PL this season.
The game will be thoroughly dominated by Liverpool who will be winning it.
Prediction: Manchester United 0 – 3 Liverpool.
