Manchester United play Liverpool away at Anfield
Manchester United and Liverpool are set to play each other on Saturday as the new season moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for three points.
Kick-off : 11:30 AM (Local)
Venue : Anfield, Liverpool
This will be the first real test of United as they face strong opponents and rivals in Liverpool away.
Man United are currently second on the table – level on points with leaders Man City. They had a superb start to this season, winning six out of seven games played so far.
Liverpool, on the other hand, had a mixed start to the new season as they are seven points behind Man City and Man United.
The Reds have been good attacking wise but not so good defensively. They will need to improve upon that quickly.
It should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
