Manchester United-Liverpool is a match of the third day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 5 p.m.: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
If there was a Clasico in the Premier League along the lines of Real Madrid-Barcelona it could only be this one. Although Manchester United has lost share compared to a few decades ago, the rivalry with Liverpool has remained intact – we are talking about the two most emblazoned clubs in England – and it is not surprising that the challenge with the Reds is the most anticipated of the season. And that on the level of hype it surpasses perhaps even the derby with Manchester City.
In any case, the calendar pits Erik ten Hag’s men against Arne Slot’s men as early as the third day, the first after the close of the market, as well as the one preceding the break for the commitments of national teams. The Red Devils, after the risky victory in the opener with Fulham (1-0), decided by a goal from former Bologna man Zirkzee, took a worrying step backward by surrendering 2-1 to Brighton in the away game, with the Seagulls managing to find Joao Pedro’s winning flick in mid-recovery. Unblemished, on the other hand, was Liverpool’s path: two for two for the Reds, who took advantage of a “soft” schedule, so to speak (Ipswich Town and Brentford, both beaten 2-0) to remain on full points like the other two main antagonists for the title, Arsenal and Manchester City. Salah and his teammates, even judging by the summer friendlies-almost only victories-give the impression that they have quickly forgotten Jurgen Klopp, with his successor seeming to have already “conquered” the locker room.
Ten Hag will again put his faith in Zirkzee: behind the former Bologna man will act Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Rashford. Newly acquired Ugarte, who has just arrived from PSG, will sit on the bench. Liverpool’s attack will consist of Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz. Only grandstand for Chiesa, bought in the last days of the market from Juventus.

The Prediction
The last two previous league fixtures ended in draws (0-0 and 2-2) and since ten Hag has been on the Manchester United bench the Red Devils have never lost at Old Trafford to the Reds. Who has impressed the most so far is definitely Liverpool, however at the “Theater of Dreams” they do not pass easily. The Red Devils will most likely avoid defeat in a match of at least one goal on each side.
