Liverpool vs. Manchester United: Preview, stream, TV channel and how to watch Premier League match
GettyLiverpool are top of the Premier League and can hold on to that lofty position with a victory over visiting Manchester United on Sunday.
The Reds are in fine form, having won six of their last seven matches across all competitions. They took over first place in the league last weekend after previous leaders Arsenal fell to Aston Villa, and Jurgen Klopp’s men will be motivated to stay there.
They’ll face a United side who are flailing after losing three of their last four games. The Red Devils must now try to turn things around at a ground in which their previous visit resulted in their joint-heaviest defeat in team history, a 7-0 loss at Anfield in March.
”I think everyone knows we have to be highly motivated when you go to Anfield,” said United manager Erik ten Hag.
“It is a great place to go and you know it is going to be tough. I think that is something which every top footballer wants, to have that challenge.
“You have to look forward and of course, last year, we have it in our memory, but you have to take the benefit from it. Learn from it. On Sunday, we can prove that.”

Erik ten Hag confirms he’s chosen which United player will fill crucial Bruno Fernandes role vs Liverpool
Bruno Fernandes will serve a one-match ban this Sunday versus Liverpool after picking up a fifth yellow card in the closing stages of Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Whilst he’s not been in the most scintillating form as of late, supporters are already fretting about which player will slot into the midfield void left by Fernandes this weekend against Liverpool. Erik ten Hag also has a significant decision to make on who will be granted the captaincy in the Portugal star’s absence.
Fernandes has featured in 23 out of the 24 matches played so far this term, being named as a starter in all but one game; in the Reds’ fourth-round Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle United, he made a 25-minute cameo off the bench.
In the two outings that the 29-year-old didn’t start, Raphael Varane donned the armband against Crystal Palace and Casemiro captained the squad against the Magpies. The former has since fallen out of favour, while the latter is sidelined for Sunday’s showdown at Anfield.
Ten Hag addresses captaincy speculation… kind of
Asked whether he’d decided which member of his team would be named captain for the highly-anticipated clash, Ten Hag kept tight-lipped on the matter. He simply responded: “Yes, I know.”
Pushed further on whether he’d be revealing the name, the Dutchman said: “No.”
