Manchester United hosts bitter rival Liverpool on Monday at Old Trafford, and both teams seek their first victory of the 2022-23 English Premier League season. In fact, United are still searching for their first point. The Red Devils opened the season with a 2-1 loss to Brighton then were humiliated by Brentford 4-0 last Saturday. Liverpool, expected to challenge for the title again after finishing one point behind Manchester City last season, have played to consecutive draws. The opener with Fulham finished 2-2 as the Reds had to rally from a pair of deficits, and they settled for a 1-1 stalemate with Crystal Palace last Monday. 

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m ET in Manchester, England.

Why you should back Liverpool

The Reds have won eight straight meetings in league play and are unbeaten in their past 21 Premier League matches. Manchester United have lost four in a row, and the drubbing at the hands of Brentford, which scored all four goals in the first 35 minutes, showed the vulnerability of the Red Devils. That weakness could be exploited fiercely by a Liverpool attack featuring Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. Salah has scored 45 goals over the past two seasons, and he got on the board in the opener. Diaz scored the goal last week and is one of the world's top young scorers.    

Liverpool outshot Palace 24-7, though they put just four on net. They shouldn't have that problem against United, who have allowed 10 on target. Goalkeeper David de Gea saved just four of those. Liverpool, meanwhile, have given up 16 shots, second-fewest in the league, so Man U might not get many chances. 

Why you should back Manchester United

The Red Devils still have a lot of pride, and they aren't lacking in talent. Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes are capable of brilliance at any time. Ronaldo scored 18 goals last season, while Fernandes had 10, and they combined for nine assists. Ronaldo has been clear about his desire to move out, so this could be his final match at Old Trafford. If he gets the opportunity, he will aim to put on a show. The attackers have a strong support system, with Christian Eriksen and Fred (four goals in 2021-22) both creative forces, and Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford also available.

Casemiro was added from Real Madrid to inject more talent into the midfield, but he isn't expected to be registered in time for Monday's match. United are third in the league in time of possession (65 percent), so Liverpool shouldn't be able to take full control. Erik ten Hag faces a tall task in revitalizing the world's most famous club, but the Dutch manager has talent at his disposal, and more on the way. He has had time to devise a plan and knows a positive result could be a huge springboard.
