Liverpool failed to beat Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea in their last three outings, twice being put to the sword by frustrating late goals.
With a crunch Champions League match away to Eintracht Frankfurt looming on the horizon, the visit of United presents Slot a huge opportunity to get back to winning ways.
Things are looking up somewhat for the Red Devils, though. A comfortable win over Sunderland sent them into the international break on a high, with Benjamin Sesko’s form – he’s scored two in two – also serving to lighten the mood at Old Trafford.
United find themselves tenth in the table ahead of their trip to Merseyside, and could climb as high as fifth with a win.
