Liverpool are better than Manchester United in the previous years as they have won half of the last ten H2H matches. The Red Devils won two games during the span, while three encounters ended with draws. Another interesting fact about H2H matches between Liverpool and Manchester United is that three of the previous four were with at least four goals.
Liverpool team overview
Liverpool last season ended Manchester City's domination and won their 20th Premier League trophy. This year, they started with seven victories in seven games in all competitions, but Arne Slot's team slowed down in the previous three matches with three defeats. In the last game before the international break, Liverpool lost 2-1 on the road against Chelsea. The home side ended the match with xG of 1.00, while the guests had 1.94, but Chelsea's much better efficiency was enough for points.
Liverpool are second on the table but have conceded nine goals in seven Premier League matches. In recent weeks, there have been a lot of questions about Arne Slot's full-back selection. Although Andrew Robertson played great for Scotland, Milos Kerkez will likely continue to start on the left side. On the other side is an even bigger mess with Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong, and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Giovanni Leoni and Alisson are injured and will not play on Sunday afternoon. Also, Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch, and Ibrahima Konate are questionable.

Manchester United team overview
Last season was one of the worst for Manchester United in the club's history as they finished 15th on the table. The 2025/26 campaign began with hopes of a resurgence, but United once again find themselves stuck in mid-table. However, after a sluggish start, they have slightly improved lately, with two wins in the previous three matches. In the last game, they won 2-0 at home against Sunderland. The home side scored both goals in the first half and maintained complete control of the match.
Manchester United's head coach, Ruben Amorim, is under huge sack pressure after a terrible last season and a bad start to the current campaign. The English media even reported that Oliver Glasner could be the new manager, so only a victory on Sunday afternoon can keep Amorim's head above water.
Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui are injured and will not play at Anfield, while Ayden Heaven is questionable for the upcoming derby.

Prediction
Neither of the two teams impressed offensively in the previous weeks. Liverpool scored only two goals in the last three matches, while Manchester United scored five goals in their four most recent outings.

3 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than three goals in this match
- Liverpool scored two goals in the last three matches
