Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has proved a thorn in Manchester United's side
  • Liverpool have won all five competitive home games this season

  • Mohamed Salah's 19 goal involvements against Man Utd is a PL record

  • Recommended bet: Mohamed Salah anytime goalscorer

Liverpool and Manchester United meet at Anfield on Sunday in what is always one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures on the Premier League calendar.

The Reds have lost their last three games, going down 2-1 to Crystal Palace, 1-0 to Galatasaray and 2-1 to Chelsea.

However, all three of those reverses came on the road and their home form has been excellent, winning all five of their competitive fixtures in L4.

United showed improvement in beating Sunderland 2-0 before the break, but remain woeful in away games and Ruben Amorim's persistence with his tactics could prove problematic, with Liverpool likely to overpower his team in midfield.

That could bring out the best in the home attackers, especially Mohamed Salah, who has enjoyed some of his finest days in the Premier League against Sunday's visitors.

Team news

Arne Slot has confirmed that both Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch are fit, but the Reds will again be without goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

The Brazilian suffered an injury in the defeat to Galatasaray and Giorgi Mamardashvili is again set to deputise.

Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha were given extra time off to recuperate after the international break but are all available for the visitors.

Lisandro Martinez is still working his way back from a knee injury, while Noussair Mazraoui is struggling with a knock.

The stats

Liverpool have lost their last three fixtures, but they all were away from home.

The Reds have also lost only one of their last 14 league meetings with Sunday's opponents.

United have failed to win their last eight away game in the league and are winless in their last nine league trips to Anfield.

Mo Salah's 19 goal involvements (13 goals, six assists) is more than any other player against United in Premier League history.

Prediction 

Arne Slot is enduring arguably his first blip since being appointed Liverpool manager in the summer of 2024, but it is perhaps no coincidence his side's issues have come away from home.

A return to Anfield could be positive, with the Dutchman having only overseen one loss at home in the league.

For a team seen to be out of sorts, they still have so much quality and Salah is sure to eventually come good.

The Egyptian has managed a relatively meagre two goals and two assists in 2025-26, but scored a brace against Djibouti to help his country qualify for the World Cup.

At 33, there is a feeling that his best days are now behind him, but facing United has brought him plenty of joy during his career and this fixture could kickstart his campaign.
