Manchester United and Liverpool come into their matchup on Matchday 3 after a truly disappointing start to the league. The 'red devils' close the standings, with zero points, and have just been beaten by Brentford (4-0). For its part, the red team occupies the 15th position in the table, after two draws against two modest rivals and plunged into a crisis due to the injuries of important players in the midfield. This will be a Northwest England Derby in low hours, but with a lot at stake: the team that has just signed Casemiro must show that their project is not the disaster it seems from the outside and Klopp's men need to add to get hooked on the positions high, taking advantage of Manchester City's puncture against Newcastle.
The match that closes the third day of the Premier League will be played at Old Trafford. It will start on Monday at 9:00 p.m. (Spanish time) and can be seen live on the DAZN platform. You can also follow minute by minute on the La Vanguardia website.
Erik Ten Hag has a lot of work ahead of him. There does not seem to be a cohesive project at the club and the Dutch coach is encountering many obstacles that prevent him from raising the team to the level he is looking for and under the premises he intends. The signings are not in line with the coach's idea (Casemiro has arrived, who will not debut yet, but he is not the most urgent midfielder profile at Old Trafford), many pieces do not measure up in a team of United's size and the mood of the players and the coaching staff is rock bottom. As if that were not enough, the most visible face of him, Cristiano Ronaldo, would like to leave.
The first two league games were a clear reflection of the sensations transmitted by Manchester United. First, a defeat against Brighton
Their neighbours, for their part, started the season on the wrong foot, but it is still too early to rule them out in the fight for the Premier League led by Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. The top favourites, Pep Guardiola's team, dropped two points in their match against Newcastle, a good opportunity for Liverpool to rejoin the top positions and get closer to their staunch rival in recent years. Without fundamental players like Thiago, due to injury, or Darwin Núñez, due to suspension, Klopp's team will try to get their first victory of the year and sink Manchester United even further. If they were defeated, they would be overtaken by Ten Hag and his crew.
