Manchester United and Liverpool Set to Clash in Premier League Northwest Derby


The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between two old rivals, Manchester United and Liverpool, at Old Trafford on Sunday evening. Manchester United comes into the game after a 2-1 defeat to Brighton and a 1-0 win against Fulham in their first two Premier League games of the season.

Injury Woes for Manchester United

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund will miss the game due to injury, joining Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, and Victor Lindelof on the sidelines.

New Era for Liverpool

Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, has started the season strongly with two wins against Ipswich Town and Brentford. Slot has a full squad to choose from, except for Curtis Jones, who is a doubt due to a groin injury, and new signing Federico Chiesa, who joined the club on Thursday.

Historic Opportunity for Slot

A win at Old Trafford would be a statement victory for Slot, making him the first Liverpool manager to win his first league meeting against Manchester United since Bob Paisley in 1975. Can Slot write his name in the history books by beating Manchester United in their own backyard?

Kick-Off Time

The highly anticipated match kicks off at 4 pm Nigerian time, setting the stage for an exciting encounter between two Premier League giants.
