Arne Slot's Liverpool take on Ruben Amorim's Manchester United this Sunday in a hugely anticipated clash between two historic rivals. The hosts would have welcomed the timing of the international break after suffering three straight defeats away from home in all competitions, and Sunday's game against United provides a perfect opportunity to get back on track in front of a packed out Anfield. As for Amorim's side, they have struggled to find consistency in the early parts of this campaign and that will be the challenge going forward if they are to achieve something this time season.
Key Betting Tip: Liverpool to get back on track and win at 1.61 provides great value in this one according to our in house team of tipsters.
Liverpool: Marmadashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Ekitike, Wirtz
With Alisson still injured, the Georgian will continue to deputise in goal whilst he recovers. With Wirtz looking promising when operating from the left, Slot may be temped to try his new signing there once more with Gakpo an option off the bench.
Man Utd: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko
Lammens looked the part against Sunderland last time out as United look to have found their new number one. Mount will also be in contention to start, but we can see Amorim opting for his three summer signings as his front line.

United's struggles have mainly come away from Old Trafford this season as they have failed to win across all competitions on the road so far this campaign. Amorim will know another examination of his United side's mettle is on the way Sunday, as a trip to Anfield provides a stern test for his already under-pressure team.
As for Slot and Liverpool's struggles in recent weeks, the United game will be pivotal in ensuring their bad form does not continue. Big money signings of Wirtz and Isak are yet to get going in a Liverpool shirt and Slot will know that time is of the essence with the amount they have spent this summer.
Football Park's Best Bet: With a full house expected at Anfield, Liverpool will be eager to reverse their poor run of form. Liverpool to win at odds of 1.61 is the chosen selection from our team here at Football Park.
Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool) With Swedish striker Alexander Isak still not up to full fitness, Liverpool's other big money striker should get the nod in this one. In red hot form, despite his team's poor performances to start the season, Ekitike has already proven he is one of the best around in the Premier League and will be eager to add to his tally Sunday.
Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United) With just one goal to this name in the Premier League so far this season, United fans will agree that there is definitely more to come from their summer signing. A bright spark with creativity and quality, Mbeumo will be looking to show what he can do against the Premier League champions this weekend.
