Liverpool and Manchester United will meet in Week 8 of the 2025/2026 Premier League. This Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United will be held at Anfield.
The Opta supercomputer has revealed its prediction for Liverpool vs. Man United. Arne Slot’s team has a win percentage of 73.3 percent.
But the Reds are in a poor run. Premier League champions Liverpool have lost their last three matches in all competitions, the first time in Arne Slot’s managerial career that they have experienced such a fate. The Reds’ morale is likely low, their confidence waning after defeats to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea.
Arne Slot and Liverpool have staked their future and reputation on this match, and that’s why they are at full strength to take all three points on Sunday.
Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is likely to recover in time for the match against Man Utd, while defender Ibrahima Konate remains a doubt. Big-money signing Florian Wirtz is expected to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea prior to the FIFA series.
Liverpool are indeed dominating Manchester United. In their last five matches, the Reds have recorded two wins and three draws.
In fact, Liverpool recorded a big victory over Manchester United. At Anfield on March 5, 2023, Mohamed Salah and his teammates won with a fantastic score of 7-0.
Meanwhile, Manchester United recently beat Sunderland. However, Ruben Amorim’s team has never won away from home, with a record of one draw and two losses.
The pressure on Amorim remains high. Although Sir Jim Ratcliffe stated that the manager would be given three years, the Old Trafford crowd is demanding more convincing results, especially in big matches. A win at Anfield could be a turning point and silence critics of the long-term project he is building.
So far, Manchester United’s performance in big matches remains a question mark. Their three Premier League wins this season have come against Burnley, Sunderland, and Chelsea, who were reduced to ten men from the fifth minute. Against a wounded Liverpool, Amorim and his team will have to prove their true quality.
Although Liverpool are favored on paper, this match will not be easy. Manchester United is finding momentum, while Anfield will be a testament to whether the pressure can be turned into positive energy for the Reds. Slot has two weeks to improve his team enough to prepare the response the fans have been waiting for.
