Manchester United vs Liverpool: Match Preview:

A visit from Liverpool is something Manchester United could do without, after their woeful start to the season.

That's exactly what they face on Monday night though, as United's biggest rivals look to pile on the misery and in doing so pick up their first Premier League win of the campaign.

Frustrating draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace have made it a stumbling start to the season from Jurgen Klopp's side, but they will be confident of a strong showing at Old Trafford.

United meanwhile have had some good news in the form of reaching an agreement to sign Casemiro, but with protests against the club's ownership planned ahead of kick-off, it could turn into a miserable night for the hosts.

Team News:

Manchester United:

Man United will be boosted by the return of Anthony Martial, who is yet to play this season due to a hamstring problem, but Ten Hag is likely to name the Frenchman on the bench, so Ronaldo, despite the speculation surrounding his future, might lead the attack once again.

Harry Maguire's spot in the XI is said to be under severe threat from Raphael Varane, while Luke Shaw could also be replaced by Malacia, who impressed in the second half against Brentford.

Ten Hag is expected to resist the temptation to make wholesale changes, with Fred, Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen potentially again featuring as the midfield three, leaving Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford to support Ronaldo in the forward positions.

Brandon Williams, Facundo Pellistri and Victor Lindelof remain on the sidelines for the 20-time English champions, while Mason Greenwood is still suspended.

Liverpool:

As for Liverpool, Klopp revealed during his press conference that Roberto Firmino is available for selection, and the Brazilian is expected to replace Nunez in the XI, with the latter suspended for this fixture.

Naby Keita will also be in the squad following illness, but Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsay and Caoimhin Kelleher are all still injured.

Klopp is expected to introduce Joe Gomez into his starting XI on Monday, while club captain Jordan Henderson should return in midfield at the expense of James Milner.

Diaz and Mohamed Salah will again play in the wide positions for the Reds, while a familiar defensive unit will include Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson.
