We simulated Manchester United vs Liverpool to get score prediction for huge Premier League game
Manchester United welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford in the Premier League today.
After Joshua Zirkzee scored late on to help United beat Fulham 1-0 on the opening day of the season, the Dutchman was painfully denied his second of the season a week later with a cruel offside decision away to Brighton, where the Seagulls came from behind to win 2-1 late on. With one win and one loss under their belt, United will be looking to get back to winning ways against fierce rivals Liverpool.
Liverpool have failed to beat United on their last three visits to Old Trafford, with Ten Hag's side beating the Reds 4-3 in the FA Cup last season before drawing 2-2 in the Premier League. The two sides met during the pre-season tour in the United States, with Liverpool winning 3-0.
