Liverpool put their title on the line this afternoon when they visit Old Trafford to face their old rivals Manchester United.
Arne Slot has made a strong start to life at Anfield with Liverpool winning his first two games in charge – at Ipswich on the opening weekend and at home to Brentford last Sunday.
United looked out of sorts. They won 1-0 against Fulham but then beat Brighton 2-1 last weekend.
