Liverpool Form/Stats

  • Liverpool are on a run of three straight losses, but they’ve also won five in a row at Anfield this season.
  • The Reds have scored 12 goals in their five home matches which have averaged 3.6 goals per game.

Manchester United Form/Stats

  • Inconsistent Manchester United have five-match Premier League form figures of W-L-W-L-W.
  • Ruben Amorim’s men are winless in eight Premier League matches on their travels.

Player to Watch

United have struggled to find a reliable goalkeeper since David de Gea left the club in 2023, with Andre Onana deemed surplus to requirements after two years in Manchester, while Altay Bayindir has made several mistakes in his rare starts in the Premier League.

Ruben Amorim handed a debut to new first-choice stopper Senne Lammens last time out, and the Belgian acquitted himself well, keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 Old Trafford win over Sunderland.

The Red Devils decided to bring Lammens in from Royal Antwerp in the summer, and he’ll aim to build on what has to be deemed a promising first start against the Black Cats a fortnight ago.

However, Sunderland registered just three shots on target in that contest, and he will face a much more fearsome examination against Liverpool’s stellar attack.
