Manchester United vs. Liverpool: Time, TV channel, stream, betting odds as rivals seek first Premier League win
With two defeats in two Premier League games under his belt as Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag could have wished for a friendlier game than arch-rivals Liverpool’s visit.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s side faltered in the early stages of this season after scoring back-to-back draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace.
Regardless of the form these two teams find themselves in, the prospect of the two biggest clubs in English football is always exciting enough.
Here’s how you can follow the action from Old Trafford as these legendary sides renew hostilities.

Manchester United vs Liverpool predicted lineups
Manchester United will hope so Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelf may return after missing recent games through injury.
Ten Hag has few other fitness concerns, although he will certainly trade Raphael Varane to the Lisandro Martinez at the back after making that change at half-time of last week’s defeat by Brentford.
Manchester United predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) – Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw – Fred, Eriksen – Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford – Ronaldo
As for Liverpool, they will likely be welcome Roberto Firmin back from injury to take the suspended’s place Darwin Nunezwhile Joe Gomez should be fit to start instead of Nat Phillips.
However, there is now an already long list of injuries Joel Matip next to people like Thiago Alcántara, Diogo Jota and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlainnone of which will be available.
Liverpool predicted starting XI (4-3-3): Alisson (GK) – Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson – Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson – Salah, Firmino, Diaz

Manchester United vs Liverpool betting odds
Liverpool have won on their last two trips to Old Trafford and have avoided defeat there in the Premier League since 2018, so it’s little surprise they start as heavy favourites.
However, a United aching from back-to-back defeats and roared at by a boisterous crowd at Old Trafford could prove a difficult prospect for Klopp’s side.
