Manchester United could do without a visit from Liverpool after a weak start to the season.
That's what they faced on Monday night as arch-rivals United looked to muster the misery while claiming their first Premier League win of the season.
Disappointing draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace have given Jurgen Klopp's side a difficult start to the season, but they will be confident of putting in a strong performance at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, United has good news in the form of a deal to sign Casemiro, but with protests over the club's ownership planned ahead of kick-off, it could be a sad night for the hosts.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Squad News
Anthony Martial could make his first appearance of the season with Erik ten Hag confirming the Frenchman has returned to training. He was in impressive form in pre-season but injury ruled him out of the opening two league games.
However, Victor Lindelof has been ruled out while it remains to be seen whether Lisandro Martinez will retain his place at the back after a difficult start to his United career.
Darwin Nunes will not play for Liverpool as he started a three-match suspension, meaning Roberto Firmino should return straight to the starting XI at Old Trafford.
Joe Gomez is available and could replace Nat Phillips in the squad while Naby Keita will also be pushing to start after a full week of training.
Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction
A more cautious approach with an emphasis on counter-attacking could suit these United players if Ten Haag decides to be cautious and try to bring solidity to the side.
Liverpool was clearly not at their best in their opening two games, but they created plenty of chances in both games and had to find plenty of joy against a United defense that looked particularly vulnerable.
Liverpool won 2-1.
