Liverpool and Manchester United were both feeling the heat heading into the latest instalment of their storied rivalry at Anfield on Sunday.

Arne Slot’s reigning Premier League champions saw their perfect start to the season with three defeats in a week prior to the international break — 2-1 losses at Crystal Palace and Chelsea sandwiching a 1-0 reverse at Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League.

It has been 13 months since the Reds lost on home turf domestically, although United came closer than most to denting that run in an eventful 2-2 draw back in January.

Across their past five Premier League games, Ruben Amorim’s side have alternated between much-needed home wins and sapping away defeats, a cycle they will be keen to break today.

Ibrahima Konate was withdrawn from the France squad ahead of Monday’s game against Iceland, but is back in training with Liverpool and expected to be fit. Wataru Endo remains a doubt.

“Ibou has come back to us, started the sessions again and is expected to train with us [on Friday].” Arne Slot said at his pre-match news conference.

Liverpool will be without Giovanni Leoni, who suffered a knee injury, and their first-choice goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, who has been sidelined with a thigh injury.

Manchester United have two outstanding injuries in their squad: Lisandro Martinez, who is not yet ready to return from a knee injury, and Noussair Mazraoui, who is likely to miss out with a thigh injury.

Mazraoui has not played since United’s win over Chelsea last month and did not feature despite being selected by Morocco during the international break.

The Red Devils’ defender Ayden Heaven‘s availability is reportedly uncertain after he picked up a knock.

Casemiro and Matheus Cunha should feature despite their lengthy trips back from South America.
