Confirmed Liverpool lineup vs Man United: Gravenberch and Jota start | OneFootball

It’s Liverpool vs Manchester United. The tie defining generations’ worth of English football.

New boss Arne Slot comes up against compatriot Erik ten Hag, the former hoping to keep the early good times rolling and the latter looking to lay down a marker following a difficult 2023/24 campaign.

The Merseysiders are two for two in wins against Real Betis and Arsenal in their US tour. Let’s hope we can make it three for three at the Williams-Brice Stadium!
