MU 2-1 Liverpool: Amad makes a mistake

At the start of the second half, Amad Diallo made a misplaced pass, giving Dominik Szoboszlai the opportunity to break through and score, reducing the deficit for Liverpool.

MU holds a significant advantage.

With 29 points earned under Michael Carrick, the "Red Devils" only need two more to secure a top-five finish. This consistency could also help Carrick earn a long-term contract.

Old Trafford is proving to be a strong fortress for United. Except for their opening-day defeat, they have won six and drawn one against opponents in the top half of the table. This record has instilled great confidence ahead of their clash with arch-rivals Liverpool.

On the other side, Liverpool travel to Manchester with a run of three consecutive wins, their best performance since the start of the season. The 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace somewhat eased the pressure on manager Arne Slot and kept the "Reds" hopeful of competing for a Champions League spot. However, their form against strong teams remains a big question mark. Liverpool have only won 1 of their last 12 matches against top-three teams, and haven't managed a single away win against teams in the top half of the table this season.

The head-to-head history doesn't entirely favor United either, as they've only won 3 of their last 19 Premier League encounters with Liverpool. Nevertheless, the 2-1 victory in the first leg gives the Red Devils hope they can complete a double against their arch-rivals for the first time in a decade.

Here are the starting lineups for both clubs.
