Having taken a whopping 87 shots at the Manchester United goal last season with a couple of draws and a defeat to show for it, Liverpool will need to be considerably more ruthless this time around. If Slot can get off the mark against the Old Trafford side at the first attempt, that would be a massive boost.
Here, Liverpool.com has picked out all of the information that you need to know, including the kick-off time, TV details, highlights and early team news. We'll start with kick-off details for the UK and US.
What time is kick-off?
The match kicks off at 4pm in the UK, which is 9am Pacific Time and 11am Eastern Time. It is normally half an hour later than that but has been moved 30 minutes earlier, likely because of a police request according to the Daily Mail . It is set to be played at Old Trafford where the Reds played twice last season, drawing once in the Premier League and then losing in the FA Cup after extra-time.
Is the match on TV?
Yes it is! You can watch the match live on Sky Sports in the UK and stream it on SKY GO. It is on both Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. In the USA, the game will be televised on Peacock Premium. It will also be possible for viewers stateside to stream via the Peacock streaming service.

Where can I catch the highlights?
Liverpool will make highlights available on LFCTV GO as well as its other official club channels. The goals will also be shared online alongside key moments in the match.
The only Liverpool player set to miss out through injury is Curtis Jones , though it remains to be seen whether or not Federico Chiesa will be involved. Jones has a minor muscle issue and didn't train this week while Chiesa hasn't kicked a ball competitively since the European Championship with Italy and therefore might need to build up his fitness a little more before his debut.
For Manchester United, Manuel Ugarte wasn't signed in time to be registered for the game. Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are both set to be sidelined while Mason Mount confirmed he was out earlier in the week. Ten Hag is also without Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia at the moment, plus striker Rasmus Hojlund.
