Old Trafford forms the backdrop for a mouth-watering Premier League encounter between Manchester United and Liverpool.
Manchester United’s humiliating 4-0 defeat at Brentford last time out followed up an equally disappointing 2-1 home loss to Brighton on the opening weekend, nailing them down to the bottom of the table for the first time since the inaugural Premier League season. On top of that, Erik ten Hag has become the first Man Utd manager to lose his opening two league fixtures in over a century, highlighting the problems in the home camp. Bringing the 2021/22 season into the equation, the ‘Red Devils’ have lost their last four Premier League matches and are now staring down the barrel of a five-game losing streak in England’s top flight for the first time since 1972. That’s upsetting as they take on a Liverpool side that thrashed them in both last season’s Premier League showdowns by an aggregate score of 9-0, including a 5-0 wallopping in this corresponding fixture.
In the meantime, the ‘Reds’ are chasing a piece of history here as they look to beat Man Utd in three successive Premier League H2Hs at Old Trafford for the first time in the club’s history. Having won their last three top-flight meetings with United, Liverpool could string together four consecutive H2Hs league triumphs for the first time since 2002. Moreover, Jurgen Klopp’s men have only lost one of their last 12 Premier League matches against the ‘Red Devils’ (W5, D6). However, Liverpool’s underwhelming start to the new league season has seen them draw both opening matches against Fulham and Crystal Palace. It’s worth noting they had to come from behind to avoid defeat on both occasions.
