Manchester United vs Liverpool: Kick off time, prediction, TV, live stream, confirmed teams and h2h results

Manchester United tonight face the daunting visit of Liverpool after a dreadful beginning to the Erik ten Hag era.

The Red Devils’ biggest rivals look to pile on the misery at Old Trafford 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 here.

United 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 another miserable night for the hosts after humblings by Brentford and Brighton.

Here are all the details for tonight’s game...

Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester United vs Liverpool is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight, Monday, August 22, 2022.

Old Trafford in Manchester will host the match.

Manchester United vs Liverpool prediction

A more cautious approach with the focus on counter-attacking could suit these United players, should Ten Hag opt to be cautious and attempt to bring some solidity to the side.

Liverpool have certainly not been at their best in the opening two games, but they created plenty of chances in both matches and should get plenty of joy against a United defence that has looked incredibly vulnerable.

Liverpool to win, 3-1.
