Arne Slot has been in charge of Liverpool since July 2024 and has made the Eagles a much more structured team that have purpose in possession, can play at different tempos and can deploy trigger-based pressing to overload the midfield areas.
Rúben Amorim has been in the Old Trafford hotseat since November 2024 and has installed an energetic 3-4-3 system that uses the high wing-backs to press and create overloads wide, while the three central players operate in the first line of possession and look to make vertical transitions.

This is a game where Liverpool’s clinical edge up front could be decisive and Hugo Ekitike’s three Premier League goals from six matches outshines anyone United have on offer, with Benjamin Sesko the closest to this clinical striker with a measly two goals from seven appearances.
