Liverpool have the opportunity to reignite their season as Manchester United make their way to Anfield. The reigning Premier League champions were caught out by their defensive weaknesses before the international break.

A trio of losses in all competitions served as a harsh wake-up call for Arne Slot , whose streak of last-gasp wins came to a jarring halt. However, the Reds boast an array of talent within their squad, which, given time to gel, should soon become a formidable force in both the English top flight and on the European stage.

They're set to host a United team that continue to struggle with inconsistency under Ruben Amorim , who will be aiming for his first back-to-back Premier League win after defeating Sunderland 2-0 prior to the break.

Amorim's United did take a point off of Slot's side in this fixture last season. It ended 2-2 on Merseyside back in January, with Amad Diallo levelling after Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah had cancelled out Lisandro Martinez's opener.

With both sides intent on attacking as the first line of defence, a similar scoreline can't be ruled out. Here's everything you need to know for tuning into this Super Sunday showdown.

Liverpool vs Manchester United will take place today, Sunday, October 19. Referee Michael Oliver will kick off the action at 4:30pm this afternoon.

Sky Sports will be broadcasting the match in the UK on their Main Event, Premier League and Ultra HD channels. Subscribers who are out and about or unable to access their TV can live stream via Sky Go.

Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle ahead of the 2025/26 season, saving members £192 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.

Highlights of the match will be posted on Sky Sports' Premier League YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle, while Match of the Day will provide an extended package on BBC One from 10:30pm.

Slot has confirmed that Alisson will continue to be sidelined for both this week and next. Ibrahima Konate, who had to leave France's camp early due to a quad injury, made a late return to training, providing a boost, while Ryan Gravenberch was confirmed to be fit.

On the other hand, Martinez continues to be a long-term absentee for the visitors. Noussair Mazraoui and Ayden Heaven are potential doubts, but apart from these, Amorim has a fully fit squad at his disposal.
