Liverpool vs Man United form
Liverpool started the 2025/26 season very smoothly. After losing to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield, The Kop went on a 7-game winning streak in all competitions.
However, the drug-fueled victories of coach Arne Slot and his team certainly cannot reassure the fans of the port city.
Indeed, the problems of the Anfield team gradually revealed themselves, starting with the rematch against Palace in round 6. The Reds lost 1-2 at Selhurst Park, opening a series of 3 consecutive defeats at Galatasaray (0-1) and Chelsea (1-2).
Except for Hugo Ekitike, the expensive rookie squad with Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong has not left much of an impression.
The performance of veterans such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Konate, McAlister also brought some disappointment.
Luckily for the port city giant, the 2-week break to make way for FIFA Days in October could be a lifesaver.
This period of time is probably long enough for coach Arne Slot to lift the team's spirits and find a way to help the squad get into a more smooth rhythm.
After three empty-handed trips away from home, Liverpool will return to Anfield to welcome Man United. A victory, especially against their arch-rivals, will certainly help the home team's morale improve significantly.
But it is important to know that despite falling into difficult and declining situations, Man United often plays with more than 100% of their form every time they face Liverpool. In the last 5 clashes between the two sides, the Red Devils have only lost 1 and drawn 4.

Also at Anfield last season, the Manchester giants forced The Kop to share points after a 2-2 draw. However, extending the unbeaten streak at the Reds' home to 3 games is not an easy task.
Man United’s performance since the start of the season has not been too bad. However, away trips are bringing a lot of insecurity to coach Ruben Amorim and his team.
In 4 away matches since the beginning of the season, the Red Devils have not had any wins, even losing 3, including 3 consecutive recent defeats against Grimsby Town (lost on penalties), Man City (0-3) and Brentford (1-3).
Ruben Amorim will become the third man after Manuel Pellegrini and Antonio Conte to win at the reigning champions’ home ground in two consecutive seasons if he overcomes Liverpool. However, the Portuguese tactician’s chances of reaching that milestone are not high.
Under Amorim, Man United have never won two consecutive Premier League matches. Furthermore, the away team has only defeated their arch-rivals at Anfield once in the last 14 clashes.
