PREDICTION

Erik ten Hag will head into the September international break under early pressure once again if Manchester United suffer their second successive defeat after beginning the campaign with a late and unconvincing victory against Fulham on the opening day. They have performed in a very similar way to last season which has been very underwhelming. Liverpool have taken their time to get into games this season but their second-half performances against Ipswich Town and Brentford have been very impressive. The thing is, though, United have made it difficult for the better sides to play against them, whilst Liverpool have shifted to a possession-dominant style of football so it could end up being a low-scoring encounter.
