It's true that Liverpool team is in a better place than Manchester United,  but I still believe it's going to be a very interesting match, at least it's what I am expecting.  I think Manchester United have a very good attacking players, but they have problem defensively,  which play to the advantage of Liverpool.

We might be looking at Liverpool of now with an eye from the past. The team this season has been surviving with a great deal of luck, having those late goals that would mean 3 points for them but, lately luck has ran out on them and Ekitike which has been some force behind these late goals isn’t in good form, Salah has been under performing all season and the Liverpool backline isn’t what it once was.
Manchester United might not be their better but, they could manage to still a point if not all 3 points come next weekend, I don’t see them loosing.

It is very, very difficult for MU to win. Liverpool is playing very well, their players have complemented each other a lot, although in football everything is probable and surprises can appear at any moment. I think MU should play much better. I think the team did not do what it should have done and it is a matter of restructuring to get out of the very bad streak they have been dragging on for the last 3-4 seasons.

Liverpool will be playing at Anfield against Manchester United, and we're certainly more confident that Salah and his teammates will beat Manchester United in this match. Although Liverpool's performance in their previous two matches hasn't been great, they'll be working hard at home to get back to three points.  Liverpool's attack has been subpar this season, and I hope Arne Slot can overcome that against Manchester United.

For Manchester United, the match against Liverpool is certainly a tough one, but nothing is impossible, given Liverpool's inconsistent form. Amorim can rely on Sesko, as he has found the confidence to continue scoring goals, as he did against Sunderland.

Liverpool haven't been in their best form so far, although I admit their performances on the pitch have been relatively organized. 3 consecutive defeats are proof of Liverpool's ineffectiveness, conceding 5 goals and scoring only 2 in 3 matches. Their defense has been well-concentrated in most games, but lately I've noticed gaps that the opposing attackers can almost always exploit to score. If it wasn't for Alisson Becker under the goal, I think Liverpool would have conceded more goals in the last few matches, fortunately Alisson Becker was able to perform great as a goalkeeper.

Even though Liverpool are favorites at home, it's always possible for them to drop points. Manchester United are certainly inconsistent, but they've managed to put in some impressive performances, including their winning over Chelsea. If Liverpool don't want to lose four times in a row, then there are things that need to be improved.

Manchester United performance is just so terrible, I don’t think even Amorim knows how he will fix Manchester United current problem, he has tried different strategies but things are not working, he already signed different players, but immediately they joined Manchester United, their performance dropped, Manchester United performance is just terrible, I don’t know how they going to fix their current problem, because I don’t even know who to blame.

Liverpool will be playing against Arsenal in their next match, it’s going to be a interesting one, I just hope Liverpool won’t end up humiliating Manchester United in the match, I don’t know why some Manchester United fans has the feeling that they going to win Liverpool, with the way Liverpool will want to take over the first position from Arsenal, they won’t joke with any match right now.

Manchester United's victory over Chelsea was well-deserved, in my opinion, because United were playing at home.
But is it possible for Manchester United to pull off a surprise away against Liverpool?
I think that's highly unlikely, and we all know Liverpool have consistently secured wins at home this season, and they also benefit from the support of their fans, which can lower the United players' mentality.
From the head to head, we can also see how Liverpool have the ability to beat Manchester United even when playing away

As of week 7, Manchester City is still stuck in fifth place in the standings. I doubt they can compete for the title this season, or if they have already regressed since selling many of their star players.

So far, they have suffered two defeats, and even dropped points against Brighton. Their weakness in depth is clearly evident. They have a good striker and a highly qualified goalkeeper, but when they have a bad day, they drop points.

[MK-74]

Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres are among the most expensive forwards in the Premier League, with a combined value of around €200 million.
However, I believe their individual contribution to their national team has been almost zero.
They failed to make any impact in the World Cup qualifiers and were eliminated after losing to Kosovo tonight.
For players with such high market value, I think they should have at least influenced the game.
In my opinion, Arsenal and Liverpool overpaid for these players.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Dont ask me why, but i can see the first win from Postecoglu Nothigham Forest  against Chelsea, i know they are like trash right now but somehow they are gonna manage to win against Chelsea, Chelsea players are gonna comeback from the international break in a sleep mode, and Forest fast football can make damage to them.

It will be difficult not to ask you how because Nothigham Forest  is not in good shape so how will they manage to win against a Chelsea team that defeated Liverpool is what I don't know because Chelsea players will want to take the game as a bonus seeing that their opponent is in the bottom of the league and they have managed to win just one match since the beginning of the season, if they manage to best Chelsea the coach of Chelsea be sacked losing the game since he lost with one of the worst performing teams this season. Football is unpredictable let's see how the international duties of the players is going to affect them from winning against a team in poor form.

Wish football works this way though. Defaeating a stronger side doesn't translate to defeating a weaker one. Nottingham Forest are in a rut and that could fuel a good performance from them against Chelsea. Also, lots of players coming in from international duty too. Chelsea are the clear favorites though.

Both players have really been poor with their performance, they’re not playing at their best, I was just wondering why they’re not able to score goals for their country, because they are two expensive players, and they really cost a lot, would I say it’s because of the poor management of the coach, because the coach is always at fault when a player isn’t playing very well, this are players that should have a very good individual performance, and why are they playing so poorly, Gyokeres is struggling to score goals and also Alexander Isak is also struggling to score goals for their country respectively, that makes me wonder are they really worth the price that their respective clubs bought them, this days players are very expensive and they end up not playing to their best.

It's true that Manchester City has not been at their best recently and they are in 5th position right now, so most of us don't see them competing for the Premier League this season.  I kind of agree with it, but I think this might play to their advantage,  because nobody puts them in contention for the Premier League,  which might take a lot attention away from them and we should not forget they have the best coach in Pep. I will not be surprised if they pop up as contenders for the Premier League as the season goes on.

[Nightwatchmare]

Yea, at least Manchester United were able to get a win but a two wins in a row will be very much unlikely, after Liverpool has experience three defeats in a row and now their next game after the break will be at Anfield. They will be fighting to get back to winning ways and I expect United to lose the game or at best savage a tie which will even be difficult looking at the over all team strength against each other.

Don't you think that Liverpool experiencing 3 defeats in a row will give Manchester United the morale to face Liverpool and get a good result from Liverpool at Anfield? When Liverpool lost back to back, i was thinking they were going to bounce back to winning ways against Chelsea because Chelsea were also struggling, but i was surprised how Chelsea gained dominance against Liverpool and beat Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool players have a more busy schedule than Manchester United players, and i think it will give Manchester United players enough time to prepare for Liverpool.

The fact that i was also among those who thought my team won't defeat Liverpool shows a reason why Manchester United might not be getting all three points at Anfield.

Liverpool men are not the kind of team that will want to remain in a losing end even if they are being stressed or facing difficulties. They have a strong winning mentality to bounce back and they know they do need it especially at their home after losing three times in a roll away. They are among the team with a better winning mentality in Epl and this is good to bounce back, looking at their squad depth, notably attacking wise.

What if your belief in Liverpool vs Manchester United game goes opposite? If it were last season's Liverpool, i would have accepted that Liverpool will bounce back against Manchester United, but i doubt this season's Liverpool will defeat Manchester United at Anfield, because any team that doesn't play a low black game for Liverpool this season always becomes difficult for Liverpool to beat. Arsenal played better than Liverpool in the first half, and Liverpool couldn't score any goals against Arsenal, but when Arsenal played a low block game in the second half, Liverpool was lucky to score a goal against Arsenal.

Liverpool is no exemption to Manchester United surprising teams and clubs better than them. I will put in for you not to underrate them. They can do the most annoying and surprised wins when it matters. This game is that game to show that. Liverpool might be miles ahead of them currently but they are also not as good as people rate them. The head to head shows that Manchester United can get a draw or a win in this game. It will be a super Sunday. As for Chelsea against Nottingham Forrest,  the both sides need the win to quiet the noise around them. A draw will help them together.

Manchester United will play away at Liverpool. However, this could be a return match for Manchester United. They've been in poor form lately, but if they can beat Liverpool away in this match, their players can build their morale and win other matches. They haven't started the season well and have fallen far short of expectations, but Manchester United has a good squad. As long as they're in good form and the players are in good spirits, they're a team capable of beating Liverpool.

There's a way that Liverpool vs Manchester United game used to go, Manchester united don't allow Liverpool to beat them easily, but now that Liverpool is playing host if the game and lost their last game in the hands of Chelsea, their last big team clash, It's not going to be easy for Man united at Anfield stadium, and regardless of Liverpool form , Manchester united are sick their own so they're not going to do much better in this, worse case both will be looking for a point share.

You never can tell Manchester United might shock you guys in as much as Manchester United have a very poor performance this season we should also know that same Liverpool has lost form and this match is really unpredictable like have supported Liverpool in this particular match for long now but I'm not really 100% sure of that support, the game might turn out to be something else and that no one can really tell, so let's just wait for Sunday to come the both teams are not to be trusted as it stands now so it's not really nice to pick side now except you're a supporter of any of the teams.

You are right, Manchester United might end up shocking people in the match, but from the look of things, I don’t expect Manchester United to surprise us in the match, I don’t really expect anything serious from Manchester United in the match, their performance has been so poor, and Amorim doesn’t even know how he will fix Manchester United current problem. Liverpool performance has also dropped, because they lost their last two premier league matches which I don’t really expect, I never expected their performance to drop all of a sudden, but Liverpool will do everything possible to win the match.

Am sure during this international break, Slot will try and fix the club, Liverpool performance isn’t so poor, the coach just has to work on some positions, and Liverpool will be back. Manchester United vs Liverpool will be an interesting match, but I expect Liverpool to win in the match.

[Volgastallion]

We have to remember the talks between Ruben Amorim and the high management of Manchester United, we all heard the rumours about he is already sacked but for contratual issues they are not gonna let him go or announce it until november.

Maybe this is true and he is already no longer the coach, but if he start to win maybe that can change?

I know Manchester united don't allow big teams to disgrace them anyhow but this particular case is different because Manchester united have been playing trash that is why they are planning on sacking Amorim and I can remember I saw a post where someone said Manchester united problem is not coach, maybe the person is right because Manchester united have been signing coachs and yet no remedy or solution to their problem and I think they should give Amorim more time to see if things will change but as for this particular match I think Liverpool has won already.

As for the issue of Manchester united now i don't think letting Ruben Amorim  go is the best option for now, since the retirement of Alex Ferguson the team have changed over 10 different coaches with no noticeable or significant change but always a depreciating result so I think its time for Manchester united board to go back to their foundational plans to see if they can be able to ascertain the real cause of the predicament or maybe find the solution to there problem because for now they have one of the best squad in the English premier league now that can be able to win the premier league if properly managed and I can see the potential in Ruben Amorim if only he can learn from the best
