This weekend’s Premier League main event fixture is going to be played between the two most successful teams as reigning champions Liverpool FC host Manchester United at the Anfield on Sunday, October 19. The game kicks-off at 9 p.m Indian Standard Time (IST).
After Jurgen Klopp’s departure, everyone thought Liverpool might start to struggle. However, new Manager Arne Slot managed to get the best out of the players and won the Premier League by 10 points over 2nd placed Arsenal.
Over the summer, they made some big signings including the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak, Jeremy Frimpong etc. However, it’s not been the greatest start that any Liverpool fan might have imagined. They are currently 2nd in the league table behind Arsenal, trailing by 1 point.
In some matches, they just barely managed to get a win. Now they are coming to this match after suffering defeat in back-to-back matches in the Premier League and also lost to Galatasaray in Champions League, making it three defeats on the trot.
As for Manchester United, they had a horrible last season, finishing club lowest 15th place and the lowest points tally of just 42 points. Over the summer, they made some key signings including the likes of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens to help head coach Ruben Amorim play his brand of football.
It’s not been a great start to the season. Despite an impressive performance against Arsenal, they lost 1-0 on the opening day. Then suffered a shocking defeat to fourth division side Grimsby in the Carabao Cup in the penalty shootout.
United went into the International break with a 2-0 win over newly promoted Sunderland, that eased some pressure on the manager Ruben Amorim. There is already an acceptance among the United fanbase about a defeat at Anfield this Sunday.

When two heavyweight clubs battle, it promises to be an exciting affair. Liverpool have further strengthened their last season’s title winning squad. Meanwhile, Manchester United is still trying to recover from last season’s 15th place finish. The Red Devils are still not able to play Amorim’s style of play and have struggled with inconsistency. Which is why, we believe Liverpool will win this match 3-1 or Manchester United at most can pull-off a draw.
