Predictions: How will we line up at Liverpool?

Sunday 19 October 2025 10:00

It’s matchday for Manchester United, who return from the international break this Sunday afternoon with a Premier League trip to champions Liverpool.

The visit to Merseyside will come too soon for long-term absentee Lisandro Martinez and, while Noussair Mazraoui is a doubt, head coach Ruben Amorim is expected to have close to a full squad available for the big game at Anfield.

So, with options at his disposal, will the boss look to name the same side that started the win over Sunderland just before the break, or shuffle his pack with the squad’s recent national-team exertions and a different opponent in mind?

You can have your say, as always, by playing our United Predictions game, in which big prizes are available for the top-scoring supporters.

Never played before or need a reminder of the rules? Well, it’s five points for every correct player you select in Amorim’s starting XI and a further 10 points if you get the formation right too.

There's three more categories to have a guess at – final score, first scorer and Man of the Match – and they are each worth an additional 20 points, which could make all the difference against your fellow fans at the end of the month.

That’s because supporters with the highest scores in each calendar month are entered into a prize draw to win a £100 United Store voucher, while those with the most points over the course of the 2025/26 season will go into a draw for a £500 United Store voucher.

To be in with a chance of winning, it’s important to make sure that you stay logged into the app so that your scores are always recorded.
