Liverpool Seek Response Against Man UnitedLiverpool return to Anfield this weekend with something to prove. Consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea have temporarily halted

The Merseysiders begin the weekend a point off the top so there is no need to panic just yet. Slot will, however, be contemplating just how to get the best from his new-look attack, with Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz all having joined in the summer.

United have been a bit of a bogey team for the Reds in recent seasons, including their last two visits to Anfield, both of which ended in disappointing draws for Liverpool. However, Liverpool really need to get back to their winning ways, and United might be the perfect opponent to step their game up.

Virgil van Dijk has spoken candidly about Manchester United ahead of Liverpool’s clash against the Red Devils at Anfield this weekend. The Reds return to Premier League action tomorrow with the aim of arresting a run of three straight defeats which left Arne Slot with plenty to ponder over the October international break.

The first doubts are beginning to emerge about Liverpool’s Premier League title defense on the back of three straight losses.

Momentum has swung back and forth between the adversaries and the rivalry has hit new heights in the Premier League era. United and Liverpool are good for at least two tantalising battles every single season, with drama never far from view.

Liverpool will make checks on the fitness of Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch before finalising their side to face Manchester United on Sunday - but Arne Slot must axe at least three of his costly summer signings to ensure they get back to winning ways at Anfield.
