Man Utd - Liverpool: Fiery English derby

Man Utd face Liverpool in the English derby in round 3. This is only the beginning of the season so the real form and ability of the teams have not been accurately assessed. However, one thing that never changes in this confrontation is the honor and self-respect of Man Utd and Liverpool.

Man Utd - Liverpool Prediction

Man Utd continued their poor start to the Premier League. They only won 1-0 against Fulham and lost 1-2 to Brighton. Meanwhile, Liverpool are starting to "get into the groove" under new coach Arne Slot. Mohammed Salah, with his consistent form, is becoming an important support for Mr. Slot to build the first bricks under his new reign.

Of course, it is too early to say whether this manager is really the perfect replacement for his predecessor Jurgen Klopp. But at least a few wins to build confidence is still better than defeat.

On the other side of the front line, Man Utd under coach Erik ten Hag still brings many questions. Winning against Man City and then Liverpool in cup matches helped the Dutch coach keep his seat. Until the Man Utd board assured the future, Mr. Erik ten Hag made fans worried and even disappointed.

There are bright spots in Man Utd's play. The players still try to chase the ball and put pressure on their opponents right in their own half. They wait for the opportunity and counterattack to score. The biggest problem for Man Utd is that their finishing is not up to standard. If they solve the problem in front of goal, Man Utd's desire to get at least 1 point against Liverpool is not a big problem.

Force information

Man Utd continue to see a series of unwanted injuries. Mason Mount has a thigh injury and is out for 2 weeks. Other players such as Leny Yoro (foot), Rasmus Hojlund (hamstring), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Luke Shaw (calf) and Victor Lindelof (toe) are still out for long periods. Ugarte is not registered to play in this match.

Liverpool also did not field new signing Federico Chiesa due to fitness issues. The Merseyside team did not have any unfortunate injuries. Curtis Jones was a rare absentee due to a groin injury.
