The biggest rivalry in English football is set to take center stage today as Manchester United faces off against Liverpool at Old Trafford, with both teams boasting a combined 39 league titles.
The much-anticipated clash will kick off at 4 p.m. today, with both teams led by Dutch managers for the first time in their storied 175-match history.
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will host Arne Slot’s Liverpool, adding a new chapter to this age-old rivalry.
Last season, United knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup in the quarter-finals and dealt a further blow by holding them to a 2-2 draw in April, effectively ending their title hopes.
“This will be my second time at Old Trafford. Many of these players have played in this hostile environment before. I only need to prepare them for what to expect from United players because, in my opinion, United play a bit different from the last two seasons,” Slot said during his press conference on Friday.
Liverpool has enjoyed a perfect start to the season, winning their first two matches by 2-0 scorelines against Ipswich Town and Brentford. Twice before have Liverpool won their opening three games of a campaign without conceding a goal – during the 2013-14 and 2018-19 seasons. Coincidentally, they beat United 1-0 in the third game of the 2013-14 season, suggesting favorable omens for the Reds this weekend.
