Manchester United vs Liverpool Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Old Trafford Date: 3rd May 2026 Kick-off time – 15:30 GMT
Old Trafford hosts one of English football’s most storied rivalries on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United take on Liverpool in what remains a Premier League fixture of enormous weight regardless of circumstance. With the top four race still alive and both clubs eyeing a strong finish to the campaign, there is plenty at stake when the sides meet at M16.
Manchester United come into this match in decent domestic form. Their most recent outing produced a 2-1 home win over Brentford, a result that added momentum to a run that had seen them win 1-0 away at Chelsea. Before that, a 1-2 home defeat to Leeds United interrupted proceedings, and earlier in this run a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth and a 3-1 home win over Aston Villa complete a sequence of three wins, one draw and one defeat. The Red Devils have shown they are capable of results against quality opposition away from home, and with Old Trafford behind them on Sunday, they carry genuine threat.
Liverpool arrive in strong league form despite European complications. Their most recent outing saw them claim a comfortable 3-1 home win over Crystal Palace. Prior to that, a sharp 2-1 away win at Everton continued their push for a top-four finish. Before that, a 2-0 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League knockout stages proved damaging in Europe, while earlier in this run a 2-0 home win over Fulham and a 2-0 defeat away at Paris Saint-Germain complete a mixed picture across competitions. In the Premier League, Liverpool have looked sharp and purposeful, and they arrive at Old Trafford with real intent.
The head-to-head record favours Liverpool, who have won two of the last five meetings, with two draws and one win for Manchester United. Most recently, United claimed a notable 2-1 away win at Anfield in October 2025. In the previous encounter, the sides drew 2-2 at Anfield in January 2025.
In the league table, Manchester United sit third on 61 points, three ahead of fourth-placed Liverpool on 58. A United win would extend that gap to six points and all but confirm their Champions League place. A Liverpool win would bring the Reds to 61 points — level with United, but behind on goal difference, with United holding a GD of +14 to Liverpool’s +13. The mathematics are tight, and this fixture could have a significant bearing on where both clubs finish the season.
In the United Kingdom, the match is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with streaming available via NOW. In the United States, viewers can watch on Peacock and NBC. The game is also available in Germany on Sky Sport Premier League and in Australia on Stan Sport.
Lineups & Injuries
Manchester United (4-2-3-1) Lammens, Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw, Mainoo, Casemiro, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Diallo, Sesko
Manchester United: De Ligt (Out), Martínez (Out), Shaw (Doubtful), Cunha (Doubtful)

Liverpool: Bradley (Out), Leoni (Out), Endo (Out), Ekitiké (Out), Salah (Doubtful), Alisson (Doubtful), Mamardashvili (Doubtful)
Liverpool carry the greater injury burden by some distance. With four confirmed absentees and both senior goalkeepers doubtful, Woodman is set to start between the sticks, while Salah’s fitness will be watched closely despite his inclusion in the predicted XI. United lose De Ligt and Martínez in central defence, but their backline is otherwise more settled heading into this fixture.
