Manchester United will need to put their heads upright as they welcome a stubborn "merseyside club" in a tough match which won't be easy for them to handle but at least the pressure has been momentarily taken off Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, after his side came from 2-0 down at home against Italian side Atalanta in the midweek European champions league action to secure victory in a 3-2 dramatic comeback.

Despite that victory the "Red Devil's" still need to improve in their game and also have many improvements to make if they throughly want to be title contenders to materialise on this season, with their poor record having now gone winless in their last three Premier League outings with a draw and also losing two (D1, L2).

Manchester United really have enough work to do even the fortress that is Old Trafford is starting to show cracks and bringing bad results, with Man utd only picking up eight points in their last seven home premier league matches, and also failing to keep clean sheet in their last nine home premier league games (W4, D2, L3) which is their longest such run since February 1971.

However, their visitors Liverpool are really having a wonderful season so far, as they still remain Unbeaten in all competition and will be going to Old Trafford with that trend and record, as also will be gunning for back to back premier league victories at Old Trafford for the first time since January 2002, with Jürgen Klopp’s men going to the match with full of confidence having earned a hardfought 3-2 win over Spanish side Atlético Madrid in midweek to maintain their Unbeaten record in all competitions.

The "Merseyside Reds" who are currently 18 league games unbeaten with the record (W13, D5), the best such streak record in England’s top-four tiers, and also doing so in style having netted 22 goals already this premier league campaign so far. Their visitors however, have been in a devastating form away from home lately, having scored 3+ goals in their last five premier league games which will really be a tough task for Ole Gunnar Solskjær side to handle when both side meet.

Liverpool will be going into this game having lost just two of their last 21 premier league away matches (W12, D7), a record that sees them travel to Old Trafford as favourites and a hard nut for Manchester United to crack as their aim of claiming the title begins to increase in high momentum.
