Manchester United vs Liverpool LIVE!

Man Utd today host eternal rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford in the Premier League. Erik ten Hag’s side have endured another mixed start to the season, having looked better in patches during their season opening win against Fulham before poor defending let them down again in their defeat to Brighton last time out. Another defeat would only increase the pressure on the Dutchman.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season. Arne Slot has taken to life in the Reds dugout very well so far, albeit this is undoubtedly a step up in class. Federico Cheisa could well make his debut – though likely off the bench if at all – for the Merseyside giants in one of the biggest games in English football has to offer.

Neither manager will want to head into the international break off the back of a defeat, which should make for a fascinating clash. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Liverpool team news

Liverpool are today unlikely to hand a debut to new signing Federico Chiesa.

The Italian forward has moved to Anfield on a cut-price deal after an injury-hit few seasons with Juventus, and was registered before the 12pm midday deadline on Friday so is eligible to play.

However, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said in his pre-match press conference that Chiesa was unlikely to be involved for his new club so soon.

“He’s going to train with us today [Friday] but it’s a bigger chance that he is not in the squad for Sunday than he is,” Slot said. “If injuries might come up in the upcoming two days we might need him, but I don’t expect him to be in but I cannot guarantee this.”

It is likely to be an unchanged, or very close to, selection from the Liverpool head coach after two relatively comfortably 2-0 wins to kick off the season, beating newly-promoted Ipswich and then Brentford.

Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have all scored at least once so far this season, while Dominik Szoboszlai is enjoying a No10 role.

Jarell Quansah appears to have lost his spot 45 minutes into the season, so Ibrahima Konate should start again at centre-back.

Curtis Jones is not training due to injury, but everyone else is fit and available for one of Liverpool’s biggest games of the season.

Manchester United are unable to hand Manuel Ugarte a debut today but Erik ten Hag is expected to shuffle his pack.

Alejandro Garnacho should earn his first start, after being unlucky not to score in the first two games of the season, though Amad Diallo has also impressed when starting. Marcus Rashford continues to show little in the way of attacking threat, but his place rarely seems under question.

Mason Mount is facing up to a month on the sidelines, after he confirmed that he suffered a muscle injury in the defeat to Brighton.

The injury to Mount could see Rashford move to a wider role and Joshua Zirkzee named up top.

Matthijs de Ligt has come off the bench in both games so far and was seemingly the only defender not guilty of a mistake in the build-up to Brighton’s late winner so may get the nod against the Reds for a first start.

Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund are all still out, along with Victor Lindelof and Tyrell Malacia.
