Liverpool, sitting third in the Premier League with 15 points, hosts 11th-placed Manchester United at Anfield on October 19, 2025, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. BST.
Both teams look to bounce back from recent struggles — Liverpool after a three-game losing streak, and United under new manager Ruben Amorim following an inconsistent start.
The historic rivalry remains one of English football’s most anticipated clashes, with Liverpool holding a strong home record as United have won only four Premier League games at Anfield in the last decade.
Jürgen Klopp’s side enters the game seeking a response after defeats to Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle. Despite recent setbacks, Liverpool have been formidable at home, remaining unbeaten in their last 27 league matches at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah continues to lead their attack with six goals this season, while summer signing Dominik Szoboszlai adds creativity and pressing strength in midfield. Klopp has called for greater focus and intensity as Liverpool aim to stay within reach of leaders Manchester City and Arsenal.
Manchester United, meanwhile, arrive eager to restore confidence and stability under Amorim. The Portuguese manager has introduced a more dynamic system, but inconsistency has limited their progress.
Captain Bruno Fernandes remains a key influence, while Rasmus Højlund and Alejandro Garnacho will look to test Liverpool’s defense. United have shown flashes of promise this season, yet their away form and defensive lapses remain concerns ahead of the Anfield test.
A win for Liverpool would strengthen their title ambitions, while victory for United could mark a turning point in Amorim’s early reign. With global attention on this fixture and millions expected to watch, the Northwest Derby promises another intense and emotional chapter in English football’s greatest rivalry.
