MANCHESTER UNITED take on Liverpool as they add another chapter to their fierce rivalry – and both sides are more desperate than ever for three points.

Erik Ten Hag has endured the worst possible start to his Premier League career in the Red Devils hot seat.


The Dutchman witnessed his new side lose at home to Brighton, before being humiliated by Brentford on the road; two results which have sunk United to the bottom of the table.

However, it hasn't been all rosy in the garden for Jurgen Klopp either as his side have failed to pick up a single win in their opening two fixtures.

And salt was rubbed into the wounds when the Liverpool boss watched his £85 million summer signing get sent off for a brutal headbutt on Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen.

But both English giants have a huge chance to put those horror shows behind them in what is already being labelled a six pointer.
