Liverpool vs. Manchester United Clash: Premier League Football Live - Preview, Build-up, and Match Coverage.

The Premier League roars back into action this weekend following the international break, highlighted by a highly anticipated clash between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, October 19, 2025. The match is scheduled for a 4:30pm BST kick-off and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK, with coverage beginning at 4pm BST.

Liverpool enters the match looking to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League after a recent slump that saw them lose three consecutive games in all competitions. These defeats included a 2-1 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League, where they conceded a 95th-minute winner, and a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League. Despite this, Liverpool has a strong recent record against Manchester United, losing only one of their last 14 meetings. Liverpool is also unbeaten in their last 20 Premier League games at Anfield.

Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim, aims to build on their recent form after a 2-0 victory over newly-promoted Sunderland. However, Amorim is under pressure to deliver results against the league's top teams. United's recent wins have come against newly-promoted sides and a Chelsea team that played with ten men for most of the match. United has struggled in recent visits to Anfield, failing to win in their last nine league trips. The last two visits, however, have ended in draws.

Team news is a major talking point ahead of the game. Liverpool has several injury concerns, with Alisson Becker expected to miss out due to a hamstring injury. Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to continue in goal. Ibrahima Konate is also a doubt, with Joe Gomez potentially partnering Virgil van Dijk in central defense if Konate is not fit. Ryan Gravenberch is expected to be available despite a minor issue.

Manchester United also has some injury concerns. Noussair Mazraoui has been absent since the game against Chelsea in late September, while Lisandro Martinez is still recovering from a knee injury. Ayden Heaven came off injured in a recent England U-20 game, and his status is uncertain. Senne Lammens is expected to keep his place in goal after a confident debut against Sunderland.

Predicted lineups suggest intriguing choices for both managers. Liverpool's potential lineup could feature Mamardashvili in goal; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, and Kerkez in defense; Gravenberch and Szoboszlai in midfield; and Salah, Wirtz, and Ekitike in attack. Manchester United's predicted lineup includes Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, and Shaw in defense; Dalot and Dorgu as wing-backs; Casemiro and Fernandes in midfield; and Mbeumo, Cunha, and Sesko in attack.

Key statistics highlight Liverpool's dominance in recent encounters, having lost just one of their last 14 Premier League meetings with Manchester United. Mohamed Salah has an impressive record against United, with 13 goals and 6 assists in Premier League matches. Cody Gakpo has also scored three Premier League goals against United, all at Anfield.

The match holds significant importance for both teams. Liverpool needs a win to regain momentum in their title challenge, while Manchester United is desperate for a victory to prove their credentials against a top side and alleviate pressure on their manager. The game promises to be a high-intensity encounter with both teams boasting elite attacking talent.
