It’s third plays fourth in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United take on old rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Before a ball was kicked this season there would not have been many expecting the Red Devils to be ahead of the Reds in the league table at this stage of the campaign, but that’s where we are.
However, Arne Slot’s men can leapfrog Michael Carrick’s men into third with a win today when they make the short trip to Manchester.
The reverse fixture at Anfield was a dramatic one, with the visiting side picking up a 2-1 victory thanks to a late Harry Maguire winner .
Liverpool do not have to think too far back to remember their last win at Old Trafford, which came on their last trip there in September 2024.
