Latest Liverpool vs MU team news
Liverpool's victory over West Ham was overshadowed by Joe Gomez's muscle injury, which will keep him out for several weeks. However, manager Arne Slot confirmed Ibrahima Konate (knee injury) and Conor Bradley (thigh injury) will return to training on Friday. The pair have only had two training days after a month of treatment, so Slot may choose Jarell Quansah to partner Virgil van Dijk, unless Konate recovers in time.
Liverpool could also recall Dominik Szoboszlai after his suspension, but Curtis Jones could return to the starting lineup after assisting Salah's 17th Premier League goal.
On Manchester United's side, Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes will return from suspension and could feature immediately. Kobbie Mainoo could continue his start after an impressive performance in place of Zirkzee. Marcus Rashford has returned to the squad after a period of absence, while Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw will be absent due to injury.

Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs MU
Liverpool continued their impressive form, ending 2024 with a convincing 5-0 victory over West Ham United on December 29th. With goals from Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo, Liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 23 matches, since their only defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest in mid-September. The win put Liverpool six points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the table, with a game in hand.
Liverpool entered 2025 aiming to score at least two goals in their 12th consecutive Premier League game, and they have scored three or more in their last three wins. Despite defensive weaknesses, the victory against West Ham ended a run of four clean sheets and gave them the best home record in the Premier League.
While Liverpool are thriving, Manchester United are facing a difficult situation after their fourth consecutive defeat, a 2-0 loss to Newcastle on December 30th. Ruben Amorim's side are now only seven points above the relegation zone, sitting 14th in the table, and risk becoming the first team in almost 116 years to go four consecutive Premier League games without scoring. The head-to-head record between the two teams is fairly even, with Liverpool having only beaten Man United once in their last four encounters, but the 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in September was an impressive win, with Mohamed Salah being the star.
