In Sunday’s Premier League matchup at Anfield, Liverpool and archrival Manchester United will rekindle their rivalry. Despite having perhaps their worst season in recent memory, Liverpool appears to have found some form in their last two games. In their last four Premier League games, the Merseysiders have kept consecutive clean sheets.
However, it is important to note that the final two of those games were against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace, two teams that are not known for their ability to attack. Klopp’s team is sixth in the Premier League, 10 points behind their Sunday opponents and bitter rivals Manchester United, despite their struggles.
The race for a place in the top four and the Premier League title could be greatly impacted by this game. On Sunday, Anfield will be at its loudest as Liverpool continues to be a formidable opponent at home. They have only lost one of their last 35 league games at home.
In the meantime, Manchester United won their most recent FA Cup match against West Ham United with an incredible comeback victory. In the 54th minute, Said Benrahma scored a brilliant goal to give the Hammers a 1-0 lead. However, in order to re-energize his team, Erik ten Hag made the decision to bring in Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, and the way the game played changed as a result.

Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction :
In recent times, Manchester United’s record at Anfield has been poor. But under Ten Hag, they are a different animal now, and they have quickly become one of the best Premier League teams.
To put it mildly, their three most recent outcomes have defined their season. Their confidence will have significantly increased following victories over West Ham United, Barcelona, and the Carabao Cup. Despite their excellent record at home, Liverpool is likely to lose at Anfield.
Prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United

Liverpool vs Manchester United Team news :
Thiago Alcantara, Luis Diaz, Joe Gomez, and Calvin Ramsay are all expected to miss this game for Liverpool due to injuries. Naby Keita’s injury will need to be evaluated, but the soon-to-be free agent was never likely to play here.
Harvey Elliott and Kostas Tsimikas may also face harsh demotions when the experienced Andrew Robertson and Jordan Henderson return, and Salah is one goal away from matching Robbie Fowler’s record of 128 for Liverpool in the Premier League.
Arthur Melo continues to wait for his first Premier League appearance as he gains match fitness. However, Klopp still faces a number of healthy selection dilemmas, the most pressing of which is in the attack, where Diogo Jota was a wildcard against the Wolves but may not be considered for a third consecutive start in the span of a week. As a result, former Manchester United target Cody Gakpo may return.
