Arne Slot heads to Old Trafford having claimed back-to-back 2-0 wins to start life in charge of the Merseyside giants, a honeymoon period which could heat up considerably with victory down the M62.

After losing to Brighton last weekend, United know a failure to get a result here risks puncturing any feel-good factor around the new campaign.
Last season saw a pair of league draws either side of Amad Diallo’s dramatic extra-time winner in March’s FA Cup tie.

Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are ruled out so Ten Hag will have to reshuffle his pack from the already available options if he chooses to do so.
