Liverpool can arrest their losing run with a win over Manchester United today.
The Reds were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea thanks to a galling 95th-minute winner before the international break, allowing title hopefuls Arsenal to usurp them as league leaders, taking a one-point advantage. They consolidated that lead with a narrow away win over Fulham yesterday.

Arne Slot has now lost three on the spin at the hands of Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea - the first time in his career he has done so. Liverpool have only lost one of their last 14 meetings with United, though, so the match presents a good opportunity to get back to form.
United, on the other hand, are out to build a winning run by upsetting the reigning champions after they dispatched newly-promoted Sunderland last time out thanks to goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko.
Ruben Amorim remains under considerable pressure despite Jim Ratcliffe’s claims he will be safe in his job for three years, but could shoot up the table with a win at Anfield.
Date, kick-off time and venue

Liverpool vs Manchester United team news
Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate have both been passed fit in a major boost for Liverpool, who will remain without Alisson Becker due to a hamstring injury. Wataru Endo should be available.
Alexis Mac Allister may struggle to play a prominent role after returning late from international duty, where he scored a brace for Argentina in a 6-0 defeat of Puerto Rico on Tuesday.
The No9 position remains up for grabs as Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak fight for a starting berth. Neither is in particularly good form, though. Isak is goalless in his last five for club and country, while Ekitike has scored once in the same period of time.
Mohamed Salah has more goal involvements against United than any other player in Premier League history, a record he will be keen to improve this weekend.
For United, the game comes too early for long-term absentee Lisandro Martinez, while Noussair Mazraoui remains a doubt along with Ayden Heaven.
Casemiro and Matheus Cunha will both be assessed after their international exploits with Brazil, with Manuel Ugarte potentially coming into midfield.
The likes of captain Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo were also given an extra day off training at Carrington on Thursday but will be ready for Anfield.
Liverpool vs Manchester United prediction
Amorim and Man United are yet to prove themselves against a top side this season. Their three Premier League wins have come against the newly promoted sides Burnley and Sunderland, and Chelsea, who played with ten men from the fifth minute.
One would expect them to struggle against the Premier League champions, then, but the case may not be as cut-and-dry as it appears. With Liverpool reeling having gone winless in three, now is the time for United to strike while the iron is hot.
Whether they can grab the opportunity is another question entirely. Slot has had a fortnight to tinker and will expect his Reds to get back to form after their recent wobbles.
