Manchester United Team Preview
Manchester United have had a mixed pre-season, showing flashes of brilliance interspersed with defensive vulnerabilities. Their attack remains potent, but injuries have plagued their preparations.
Key players missing this match include Leny Yoro, Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Rasmus Hojlund. Despite these setbacks, Erik ten Hag’s squad depth will be tested, with Hannibal Mejbri and Mason Mount likely stepping up.
Liverpool Team Preview
Liverpool have enjoyed a relatively stable pre-season, marked by solid defensive performances and clinical attacking displays. Arne Slot’s influence is evident as the team aims to bounce back from last season’s inconsistencies. Liverpool will be bolstered by the return of Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch, adding strength to their squad.

Manchester United will be without Leny Yoro, who is recovering from a metatarsal fracture, and Hojlund, who is nursing a hamstring injury. Rashford and Antony are also doubtful after picking up knocks against Betis. This opens the door for Hannibal Mejbri and Mason Mount to start, while Andre Onana and Jonny Evans may bolster the defense.
Liverpool have no new injury concerns from their win over Arsenal. Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch are expected to get their first pre-season minutes, while Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones, who featured against Arsenal, are available. Left-back Andrew Robertson remains sidelined.
