The highlight of Matchday 8 in the English Premier League will undoubtedly be the clash at Anfield, where Liverpool host Manchester United. This game should answer a key question: is Liverpool’s recent slump just temporary, or have the Merseysiders really lost their form?

After a stunning start with six consecutive wins, Liverpool suffered back-to-back defeats. What hurt most was the way they happened — conceding in stoppage time, at the 90+7 and 90+5 minutes. Such blows could break the spirit of any squad, but all eyes are on how Liverpool will respond.

United’s season has been turbulent, alternating wins and losses. In the previous round they secured a solid victory over Sunderland, proving they can handle mid-table opposition. Still, consistency remains their main issue.

Prediction for the Liverpool vs Manchester United

Despite Manchester United’s inconsistency, one trend stands out: strong at home, weak away. Liverpool, for their part, struggle with injuries and morale but remain dangerous, especially at Anfield. Against a United side with known away problems, the Reds have every chance to bounce back.
➡️ Tip: Liverpool to win.
