Liverpool

Liverpool and Manchester United have famously never peaked at the same time and amid huge issues at both clubs off the pitch, their fortunes could about to ...

[that juncture 2-1 in August](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-united-liverpool-result-final-score-b2150411.html) - Ten Hag actually matched the number of wins that both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had in the same fixture. Some of this, ironically, is down to the finances. It is why a forward - and especially a fast forward like Victor Osimhen - is a priority. It is also arguably the first time in well over a decade Liverpool’s title victory - as well as all of the sensational football around it - has seen them overtake United in a manner that would previously have been considered unimaginable. This is why people in football are again talking about United as the future. They have one of the biggest technical partner deals - and they haven’t won the league since 1990. They sell an incredible number of shirts and have the second biggest shirt deal in the Premier League. It was nevertheless the United’s long reputation as one of the biggest money-makers in the game that ensured Fenway Sports Group sought to sell at almost exactly the wrong time. In the last two months alone, it could have been a landmark moment for the English game were its two biggest clubs to be sold at the same time. That is because of a huge change in fortunes within the Premier League’s greatest rivalry. The Anfield hierarchy were not just facing into a market that was much more restricted than expected from the Chelsea sale, but were also up against perhaps the biggest brand in global sport.

"Comfort, that's the main thing. "As a team, we understand it's not in our hands," he added. Alexander-Arnold has been complimentary of Rashford in the past. "It's something that's vital. The last time Liverpool met Manchester United at Anfield, it was a rampant win. We're on the right path but we need to carry on."

Liverpool vice-captain James Milner is on the cover of the matchday programme for Sunday's game against Manchester United. Inside the edition, in his notes ...

Liverpool are ready to sign a Prem midfielder in a £70m deal, Man Utd fancy a £25m-rated Dortmund goalkeeper, while Chelsea are closing on an Ecuador teen.

“Perhaps the difference is that the clubs are finding out with their football associations how to sign a contract today. De Gea looks set to be rewarded with a new deal – albeit one with a pay decrease. However, United want to bring in a new No 2 to challenge him. That’s because he is set to become the Copa Libertadores’s youngest-ever player when turning out for Independiente del Valle later this month. Then we can proceed to sign a contract. The World Cup winner is a man in high demand following his performances in helping Argentina to glory at Qatar 2022. He will likely cost a fee in the region of £70m. As such, the Reds are beginning to look at alternative options.

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-make-move-for-alexis-mac-allister-as-price-revealed-hes-ready-to-go/) reports that Liverpool are ready to make a move for the Seagulls star. And it’s reported that Mac Allister is ready to push for the move, with the midfielder described as ‘ready to go’ to a bigger club. Liverpool are ready to raid Brighton this summer by making a firm move for Alexi Mac Allister – with reports claiming the star is ready and willing to make the switch to Merseyside.

Liverpool and Man United go head-to-head in the Premier League this weekend, and fans in Ireland can find out everything from kick-off time to TV info.

Fans will be encouraged by the fact that their defence, which has been leaky at times this season, has kept a clean sheet in each of their last four Premier League games. They are already out of both domestic cup competitions, and are unlikely to turn around that 5-2 deficit to Real Madrid in the Champions League, so their main priority for the remainder of the season is secure that all-important top-four finish. Liverpool, on the other hand, have some ground to make up in the race for a Champions League place, and suffered a 5-2 humiliation at the hands of Real Madrid at Anfield just last week. Liverpool beat Wolves in the league midweek, to somewhat make up for a drab scoreless draw away at Crystal Palace last Saturday night. United sit 11 points behind the Gunners and six behind Manchester City, although they have a game in had on both title rivals.

“I think Man United is the team in form in the moment, maybe together with Arsenal — and City are doing well,” Klopp said, adding that the home crowd could be a factor. The 2-2 draw at Barcelona in the Europa League playoffs last month was evidence of the growing confidence and courage of a team that has been unable to keep pace with City and Liverpool in recent years. There have been signs of the 2020 champions rediscovering their form in recent weeks with morale-boosting wins against Everton and Newcastle. At Arsenal in January, United missed the chance to put real pressure on the leaders with a 3-2 loss, curtesy of Eddie Nketiah’s winner in stoppage time. This team does not show panic and can change the dynamic of the game.” A Liverpool team that has already beaten City and Italian league leader Napoli at home this season could threaten to Ten Hag’s ambitions.

Liverpool and Man United go head to head on Sunday afternoon at Anfield in the Premier League. Here are our player ratings for the game.

Man United have not beaten them at Anfield since [January 2016](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35274741), when [Wayne Rooney](https://cms.sportsjoe.ie/football/wayne-rooney-responds-to-cristiano-ronaldo-interview-comments-276723) scored the only goal of the game.

Mohamed Salah needs one more goal to equal Robbie Fowler's club record tally of 128 goals for Liverpool. Man Utd looking to do the Premier League home/away ...

Klopp’s side really need a win in this game to keep up their aspirations of a top four finish in the 2022-23 Premier League table. After a terrible run of winning one point in four games (D1 L3) to kick off 2023 in the Premier League, Liverpool’s midweek win over Wolves means that they are now unbeaten in four games and have kept a clean sheet in each match (W3 D1). It was their first defeat in 22 Premier League matches and the first time that they’d lost a league game in 2022. That strike also saw Rashford score for the fifth time in the Premier League for Man Utd versus Liverpool; a tally that only Wayne Rooney (six) has more than. It’s hard to look past a man that’s scored in each of his last five appearances against Man Utd as Liverpool’s key player for this match. The Opta supercomputer’s heavy lean towards a Liverpool win in this fixture may surprise you. They have lost just one of their last 35 Premier League matches at Anfield (W26 D8 L1), averaging 2.46 points per game on home soil across that period. With 29 goal involvements in all competitions in 2022-23 (20 goals, nine assists), Salah is by far Liverpool’s most dangerous attacking threat. Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool side are unbeaten in their last six league games against Man Utd at home (W3 D3) since a 1-0 defeat at Anfield in January 2016. Manchester United and Liverpool renew their rivalry this weekend, with the two most successful English clubs meeting in the Premier League at Anfield. The Red Devils have lost just one of their last 11 games – one of these coming pre-World Cup, 10 after – with eight wins and two draws. They haven’t achieved this in the competition since winning against Liverpool at both Anfield and Old Trafford in 2015-16.

You can also see how many bodies Liverpool have in that space to build an attack from a good area. Leeds scored inside a minute after Tyler Adams stepped up and pressured Bruno Fernandes just inside the home side’s half. It was a tactic he used successfully to frustrate Manchester City in the In a nutshell, they’ve been good going forward and have been able to limit the opposition. If they play this right, there will be space to attack on Sunday. The system may slightly differ, with Liverpool using a 4-3-3 on paper, but the approach could be almost identical. If results go their way, they could finish the weekend seven points clear of Spurs in fourth with a game in hand. City are fairly aggressive with their press and commit five bodies forward. Even in the games they didn’t concede first in, there’s been an overreliance on David De Gea between the sticks. The hosts know a win cut United’s advantage over them to just seven points in their pursuit of playing As evidenced by Liverpool late last season and earlier in this campaign, once you get into that habit it is difficult to get out of it. Liverpool go into this game a little under the radar.

Two bitter rivals lock horns at Anfield on Sunday as Liverpool host Manchester United in what promises to be a classic Premier League encounter.

Leicester are slipping back towards the relegation zone and this is a massive game for Brendan Rodgers as his side aim to push back into midtable. They have looked more organized in his two PL games in charge but scoring goals remains a huge problem as they lost 1-0 at Leeds last time out following a lackluster display. Pep Guardiola and Man City are now five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and have 13 games to go. Eddie Howe’s side have been so focused on winning the League Cup that their Premier League form has dipped but they should now be back on track and finding more goals is their main aim. Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. Who will be the surprise package? Xavi is without a trio of key players as Robert Lewandowski, Pedri and Ousmane Dembele are all out. Ferland Mendy is still out, while David Alaba injured his hamstring against Liverpool and won’t return until early April. Gavi and Pedri are essential to how they play under Xavi but the latter is missing, which is a big blow too. Veteran Luka Modric continues to defy logic with his displays in midfield, while Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema have been in fine form in attack. It’s not all doom and gloom as Xavi’s project is still ticking along nicely and Barcelona are heavy favorites to win the Spanish title once again. This United squad seems to have a real togetherness and a lovely balance to it right now.

Liverpool holds one distinct advantage over Manchester United, underlined against Wolves. A surprise entrant in Jürgen Klopp's top 10 scorers can do the ...

[Liverpool](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/) has scored 10 goals from set plays, two adrift of [Tottenham](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-spurs-mohamed-salah-thiago-25447452) who lead the way, while Manchester United are joint-second bottom of the standings with three. He played in six of the seven better games too. It makes the Reds’ recent set play goal drought seem brief, as Liverpool went 26 matches and 91 shots without finding the net from a dead ball opportunity in that campaign. The fact the Dutchman only played four-and-a-half of the games between the two clashes with the pair of Midlands rivals shows how vital he is in attacking dead ball situations. The expected goal data hints at what he adds too. Van Dijk can embarrass them just as he has before. The teams have had very similar campaigns in this importance sense; Erik ten Hag’s side have simply spaced their goals out to greater effect (if only it were this easy to arrange). There would be no better team for the Egyptian to equal (or hopefully beat) Robbie Fowler’s record of 128 Premier League goals for Liverpool against either. A think back over his Liverpool career tells you as much. The position is not as extreme at the back, but the Reds possesses the better record, having conceded four compared to seven. On the score sheet against Julen Lopetegui’s side were Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, just as they were for an unforgettable win over United in 2020. It’s certainly realistic that their last two scorers could find the net once again though.

Two bitter rivals lock horns at Anfield on Sunday as Liverpool host Manchester United in what promises to be a classic Premier League encounter.

Fabinho has endured a turbulent season at Anfield and this weekend, he will face his fellow compatriot in Casemiro, who has transformed Manchester United.

The question in the summer is whether or not Liverpool believes Fabinho can get back to his best again, or whether it might have to think about splashing big money to solve the issue as Manchester United has successfully. The Like Fabinho during his prime, Casemiro is the ultimate ball-winner. Now aged 31, the five-time Champions League winner is perhaps past his very best, but he's still proved to be highly effective.

"We have to build on the performance and on the result and we try everything to do exactly that." But in the middle of that run, the Reds' deficiencies were brutally exposed in a 5-2 home defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Fresh from lifting the League Cup to end a six-year wait for silverware, United's run of one defeat in 22 games has kept them in the hunt for a quadruple of trophies.

Carvalho is a well-regarded prospect at Liverpool. But, for now, he remains just that — he must be patient.

“He played well for us in a couple of games and now the situation is we have to make the squad and he couldn’t make it. Given Liverpool’s usual formation doesn’t allow for a roaming playmaker, Carvalho is preferred on the left of midfield or attack. He’s in the middle of the group and the team so that’s all fine. This is what Liverpool will be working on with Carvalho as well as helping recalibrate the tactical understanding of his role. [a close friend of Carvalho’s since their time at school together](https://theathletic.com/3556178/2022/09/01/harvey-elliott-fabio-carvalho-liverpool/) — there is a question mark around his defensive discipline. That doesn’t help a lot but that’s another thing in a long career you have to go through. “Fab is a very young player as well and a big talent absolutely,” he explained when asked about Carvalho’s situation by The Athletic ahead of the Newcastle game. He played on the left wing in both games. [Carvalho had signed for Liverpool from Fulham](https://theathletic.com/4176833/2022/05/23/liverpool-confirm-fabio-carvalho-signing-from-fulham/) as a prospect, albeit a hugely talented one, but here he was seizing his opportunities in the here and now. [It was a precious goal in a big game for Liverpool](https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/liverpool-newcastle-score/N09YFJYEKggc/), who had started the season sluggishly, and a huge one for Carvalho. Six months on and Carvalho’s fortunes since that day serve as a reminder that the paths of even the most precocious players rarely run smoothly. When the game was effectively won against Wolves on Wednesday, again Carvalho stayed on the sidelines.

As Liverpool prepare to host Manchester United at Anfield, BBC Sport revisits some of the great matches between the two sides from the past 30 years.

With 86 minutes on the clock, and the final seemingly heading for extra-time, the mercurial Eric Cantona found space in the box and fired the ball through a forest of bodies to seal the win for United. It was a clash of Scots in the dugout, with Sir Alex Ferguson's side enjoying life at the top of the Premier League table when they headed to Anfield to take on Graeme Souness' Liverpool. Man Utd 2-1 Liverpool (24 January 1999) Old Trafford has been the venue for a number of dramatic clashes between United and Liverpool, and this proved to be one of the visitors' most outstanding victories. United finished with 10 men after Paul Pogba was dismissed after 60 minutes for a tackle on Keita, when the visitors were already five goals to the good. His side headed into the game after a disappointing 4-0 defeat away to Brentford, with pressure mounting on the new manager and the sense he needed a win to get fans on side.
