[Fred](/people/fred/), [Bruno Fernandes](/people/bruno-fernandes/) and Eriksen potentially again featuring as the midfield three, leaving [Jadon Sancho](/people/jadon-sancho/) and [Marcus Rashford](/people/marcus-rashford/) to support Ronaldo in the forward positions. [Darwin Nunez](/people/darwin-nunez/) picked up a red card in the match with [Patrick Vieira](/people/patrick-vieira/)'s side, ruling him out of the trip to Old Trafford, while the Reds have injury problems, and they need to be careful that Man City are not allowed to open up a healthy advantage in the early stages of the campaign. Liverpool will undoubtedly be the favourites heading into Monday's encounter, and it would certainly not be a surprise to see the Merseyside giants secure all three points. [Anthony Martial](/people/anthony-martial/), who is yet to play this season due to a hamstring problem, but Ten Hag is likely to name the Frenchman on the bench, so Ronaldo, despite the speculation surrounding his future, might lead the attack once again.
Manchester United and their arch-rivals, Liverpool will lock horns on Monday in what would have been the most exciting and biggest game of the new Premier.
But it is still too early to draw up such conclusions. Liverpool is currently 12th in the Premier League table having drawn two out of their first matches against newcomers, Fulham and Crystal Palace respectively while Manchester United are comfortably sitting at the bottom of the table with zero points from two matches and a minus five goal difference. A defeat for both Manchester United and Liverpool would be an early confirmation that either of them may rather be fighting to avoid relegation instead of chasing the title.

The Frenchman is back in full training and available for the game. On the pitch, Ten Hag has a fair few selection dilemmas. In addition to the frosty atmosphere that comes with this fixture, fans have planned protests against the club’s ownership.
Manchester United have endured a disastrous start to their Premier League season with an ominous derby clash with Liverpool coming on Monday, though Ten Hag ...
You have to bring it in every game on the pitch and of course especially Monday night. it's not difficult to motivate this team because my experience with them is that, from the start of the season, they work really well on the training pitch." And Ten Hag has insisted that the first two games of his time in charge have been far from good enough. Follow the rules and principles and work hard, as hard as you can maximise. But Ten Hag has received the huge boost that Martial is now back training with the first-team squad. Martial's return is a major boost for Ten Hag given the disastrous start to his reign as United boss. "I know we are the rivals. Christian Eriksen and [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/cristiano-ronaldo) have been deployed up-front in his place, to decidedly mixed results. In his absence, the Red Devils have lost both matches, with their solitary goal so far this term being Alexis Mac Allister's own-goal in the opening day defeat to [Brighton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/brighton-and-hove-albion-fc). You grow and then you get a drop. He also highlighted a drop in performance levels since Martial was forced off against Atletico. I’ve seen really good things, until Atletico Madrid," Ten Hag told MUTV.

Liverpool also have several issues to address at the moment and will go into this game with a heavily depleted squad. Liverpool are currently in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have largely failed to hit their stride this season. The Red Devils suffered a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week. The Red Devils have signed - Manchester United have won only one of their last 12 Premier League matches against Liverpool and are winless in their last eight games against their arch-rivals.

That competition between Liverpool and Manchester United is always going to be there because we've won the league a few times, they've won the league a few times. They have top players, they have a top coach, so it's not going to be easy at all." "But the collective one is the Premier League and Champions League. "It could be a little bit of pressure if we're seven points behind City, but I think it's too early to think about that," Salah said. "I never say before the season [my individual goals]," Salah said. "Maybe the biggest two teams in England history-wise, so I think it's a special game for everybody.
We take a look at the projected lineups for both Manchester United and Liverpool ahead of a huge clash at Old Trafford, as both teams are struggling.
The back four picks itself and I’d bring in Joe Gomez for Nat Phillips after the latter made a poor mistake to allow Wilfried Zaha to score last time out. Erik ten Hag may stick to his guns and play an attacking 4-3-3 but I think he’d be silly to do that from the start. Look, Erik ten Hag is a man who loves to stick to his philosophy and way of playing out of the back in a 4-3-3 system. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho could be sacrificed as United should go for a more pragmatic approach. Eriksen and Fernandes ahead of them will help them keep the ball, while up top I’d expect Cristiano Ronaldo to start given his penchant for pulling off incredible moments in big games.

You don't have to read it. You don't have to be fussed by it. If I say ‘no’ then we have a real mess. You can ask me if we could play Pep Guardiola-football - and if I could coach like that then it could be possible. “But I really think that in a situation like this, then the other team should always get the points. “If the supporters want the game not to happen, then we can't just rearrange the game and fit it in somewhere in an incredibly busy schedule. It later emerged that the vehicle was a decoy and that Klopp and his players had been transported from their hotel to Old Trafford on a different coach. But I have nothing to say about Manchester United. We have nothing to do with the situation. If they tell us we are fine then we go there, play and then go home. “If I say 'yes' it's just a matter of telling them how to do it. I can't sit here four days before we play United and create headlines.
MANCHESTER UNITED fans are expected to protest ahead of their match against Liverpool on Monday night.
The protesters are encouraging a large turnout for their peaceful demonstration as they look to prove to the Glazers that they have had enough of their ownership, with ‘The 1958’ fan protest group leading the charge. “If they tell us we are fine then we go there to play and then go home. Tensions are growing at the Theatre of Dreams, and United’s woeful start to the season has only stoked the fire.

"We have nothing to do with the situation. The fixture on August 22 is set be the stage for a mass walkout by fans as they try and capitalise on developments in recent days. Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool should be given the points should their clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford be postponed by protests from fans.
Two sides yet to win a game meet on Monday night but Man United aren't in any position to cash in on Liverpool's vulnerabilities.
United were pitiful at Anfield in April and an early Liverpool goal is almost certain to send this game spiralling in the same direction. However, that won't matter against a United side riddled with problems and confidence issues. Liverpool are heavy 4/7 favourites to bag their first win of the campaign. Held by Fulham and Crystal Palace, Jurgen Klopp's side have been giving up some big chances to their opponents and that air of invincibility has just slipped for the time being. Such shameless attitudes could get Erik ten Hag the sack, just as they have with previous managers, while many actually believe United are genuinely in a relegation battle. For now, there is no end in sight to the United circus.

[Scott Saunders](https://twitter.com/_scottsaunders), [Graeme Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey) & [Toby Cudworth](https://twitter.com/Toby_Cudworth) bring you Talking Transfers, discussing Erik ten Hag wanting to sign five players before the transfer window closes, and Man Utd's attitude to selling Cristiano Ronaldo. I don’t know his reasons but, as I wrote in my last column, I’d let him - he’s a great player and will always score goals but the task for Ten Hag is to produce a team that can compete for the title in three or four years’ time. He clearly wants to see the players he inherited and give them a chance. He’s a lovely kid and a local lad who came through the ranks at United, who everyone wants to see doing well. "But I wouldn’t play Cristiano Ronaldo, and I wouldn’t play Marcus Rashford. Because watching him is a real concern: he looks like he wants to be anywhere but on a football pitch.
Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney has urged manager, Erik ten Hag not to play Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford against Liverpool on.

They’ll be up for the game, they’ll want to beat Liverpool just as much as we do.'' ''But the initial feeling is massive and it’s something that you crave as a player and I don’t think that ever leaves you.'' ''After the game, you realise a goal’s a goal and you need to score them against any team.
Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United could 'snatch a draw' when Liverpool visit Old Trafford on Monday night. Jurgen Klopp's side beat United 5-0 in last ...
Ten Hag needs energy from his side and that may mean dropping Ronaldo.” “If I was in Ten Hag’s position my main concern would be getting energy on the pitch, and United’s failure to recruit a number nine means they relied on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he hadn’t trained a lot with the team. “Play like they did against Brentford, and United will suffer an even worse result than their 5-0 defeat by Liverpool last season,” Rooney told The Times.
The last time such a protest took place before a home match against Liverpool, in May last year, thousands filled the concourse outside Old Trafford and the ...

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes his side should be awarded points if Man Utd fan protests call off their game…
Both United and Liverpool have endured poor starts to the season. They will no doubt smell blood against a fragile United side, though, especially having lost 4-0 in pre-season to the Red Devils. He added: “We have nothing to do with the situation if (United) supporters don’t want the game to happen. Over a thousand supporters were estimated to have gathered outside of Old Trafford during the protest, with a further 200 or so gathered outside of The Lowry hotel, where United players usually stay ahead of fixtures. [Liverpool](https://www.givemesport.com/liverpool) are set to face United at Old Trafford on Monday night with both teams in search of their first win of the Premier League season, but fan protests are expected to come from United fans. The same fixture was called off two seasons ago due to anti-Glazer protests from thousands of United fans, who managed to breach Old Trafford ahead of kick-off and get the game postponed.

Man Utd take on Liverpool on Monday Night Football with Erik ten Hags side bottom of the Premier League table; Liverpool beat United 9-0 on aggregate over ...
Liverpool's main concern is in midfield, with Thiago Alcantara out for another month, and Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also on the treatment table. Old Trafford can certainly provide another challenging environment on Monday night, especially with Liverpool already facing the pressure of catching up to the top of the table. But all is not well at Liverpool, especially when it comes to the medical room. To put it simply, Liverpool have a tendency to start games slowly. They have also conceded first in their last six Premier League outings. On paper, the Monday Night Football clash at home to Liverpool does not look good for Manchester United.
The Premier League returns this weekend with Manchester United set to face Liverpool in their third league outing.
The game will be live on Sky Sports, and those unable to catch Sky can also Salah, scored a hat-trick in this fixture last season and will become the all-time top scorer in the history of the rivalry if he scores on Monday. [Premier League standings](https://footballtoday.com/premier-league-table/), have conceded the first goal in both of their league outings this season and will be looking to avoid that against United. Tyrell Malacia has come off the bench in United’s two outings this season when the games were more or less lost and could be handed his first start of the season on Monday after a commendable second-half performance against Brentford. Monday’s game is another edition of one of the biggest rivalries in English football and with both sides seeking their first league win of the season, the managers are expected to field their strongest possible XI from the jump. The move remains subject to medicals and a work permit but the Brazilian could be in the stands on Monday. The Old Trafford outfit have begun the season in abysmal fashion and are rock-bottom of the league table. The German manager, who previously said the club would not make more signings for the sake of it, may be forced to reconsider with their injury list piling up very early in the season. In a scamper for reinforcements in the final days of the transfer window, The Red Devils will return to Old Trafford after a horror showing in their game on the road last weekend. The blockbuster clash will be played on Monday as the final game of the latest round of fixtures. The Reds have also struggled to impress in the Premier League this season, playing out consecutive 1-1 draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace in their first and second games respectively.
Former Tottenham Hotspur coach, Harry Redknapp, has predicted Monday's Premier League tie between Manchester United and Liverpool. Manchester United will.
He added: “But, for me, that puts United in a no-lose situation — and I certainly don’t think they will lose at Old Trafford tomorrow night. They are talking of a three, four or five-goal win for Liverpool. Well, I have been called plenty worse over the years and no doubt will be again now.
