Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, October 19, 2025, in a Premier League Matchweek 8 showdown that promises another fiery chapter in English football's most historic rivalry. Arne Slot's men are desperate to end a poor run of form, having lost three straight matches in all competitions.
The Dutchman remains upbeat, however, and told reporters that the squad's spirit hasn't dropped one bit ahead of the clash. As reported by Softfootball, Slot also gave a positive update on Alexander Isak's recovery , suggesting the striker could feature against United.
The visitors arrive in slightly better shape. Ruben Amorim's side beat Sunderland 2-0 before the international break, showing signs of improvement after a rocky start to the campaign. According to Softfootball, captain Bruno Fernandes insists he remains fully committed to United despite recent transfer rumours linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia .
