The 2024/25 Premier League season is well underway, and the action continues to flow thick and fast. Two of the country’s fiercest rivals lock horns this weekend at Old Trafford, as Manchester United host Liverpool in the third week of the campaign.
Ten Hag’s men opened on a strong note after Joshua Zirkzee’s late debut strike made the difference against Fulham, but a stoppage-time winner from Joao Pedro of Brighton a week later stunned the Red Devils. Conversely, Liverpool have cruised through the opening two weeks with back-to-back 2–0 triumphs, remaining one of just four sides to have won all their games so far. They head into this weekend’s fixture brimming with confidence and trust in Arne Slot’s newly-instilled philosophies.
Fans have already seen the two Dutch tacticians face off earlier this year, when the north-west giants met in the United States for their respective pre-season tours. Albeit a friendly, Arne Slot’s men ran riot in a 3-0 thumping, and he’ll be hoping to see his team do it again, but Ten Hag will be determined to restore his side’s pride and simultaneously place the season form record back on track.
