Credit: Sky Sports News / Manh Tung - Breaking Media Thu 16 October 2025 6:30, UK Jamie O’Hara must be prepared to eat his own words as Arne Slot prepares his Liverpool team for a huge clash against Man United.There is always a massive anticipation before these two sides face off, and after Liverpool lost 2-1 to Chelsea before the international break, the Reds have now lost three consecutive games.That has not happened since March 2023 under Jurgen Klopp, but with Ruben Amorim under pressure at Man United, there is still very little chance of a surprise result at Old Trafford.Mikel Arteta has Arsenal firing in the Premier League, having now taken top spot with a win over West Ham, so it is vital that the Reds kick off their return to club football with a win.Credit: ImagoLiverpool’s recent record against Man United spells good news for Arne SlotIn the last 20 league meetings between the two sides, dating all the way back to 2016, the Red Devils have claimed just three wins, so an away win seems extremely unlikely on Sunday, 19 October.Slot will also be keen not to increase his number of losses against the club, facing defeat in one of his four games against United.Whatever the situation at either club, the Reds are going to be strong favourites to secure all three points once Premier League football returns, and a hammering could force Sir Jim Ratcliffe into a manager search.

Liverpool have been poor recently. Three [losses] on the bounce, they lost to Chelsea, and all of a sudden, Arsenal have caught up with them.“They’re shaky at the back, all over the place in midfield, question marks over the signings, and Isak not being fit.

There’s a lot going on at Liverpool, and Arne Slot has got to figure it out.”There is unlikely to be a single Liverpool fan who agrees with these comments, and to an extent, not many Man United supporters either. O’Hara will be forced to eat humble pie after this game.
