Defending champion Liverpool is striving to regain its luster and return to winning ways at Anfield when it hosts its arch-rival Manchester United in the eighth stage of the English Premier League, but the Red Devils, led by Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, are hoping to snatch a rare victory away from home.
The Reds team enters its confrontation armed with having only lost one single match out of the 14 it played in the Premier League against United, despite the fears that haunt it as a result of its recent exposure to three consecutive defeats in various competitions, which made it give up the lead in the league by a point to Arsenal (16 to 15).

Liverpool made a strong start to the season, winning their first five matches, and looked on their way to achieving a record 21st league title and breaking their partnership with United (20 each).
Liverpool concealed the many problems plaguing it this season with goals at decisive moments, but it suffered three consecutive defeats against Crystal Palace (1-2) and Galatasaray in Turkey (0-1) in the Champions League and Chelsea (1-2).
Despite its decline in the standings and poor results, Liverpool mocked United on social media this week, reminding them of the crushing defeat (0-7) they inflicted on them in March 2023, when Egyptian top scorer Mohamed Salah scored two goals at the time.
Liverpool is also proud of its distinguished record against United, as it succeeded in scoring in 10 of their last 11 matches in all competitions.
For its part, United, which has not achieved a win at Anfield since 2016, returned with two satisfactory draws in its last two visits.
Although United, which is in tenth place with 10 points, will not greatly intimidate Liverpool, the “Red Devils” team is betting on having opportunities to exploit the gaps in the home team’s defense.
