JAKARTA The hot duel was again presented at Anfield, Sunday, October 19, when Liverpool hosted Manchester United in the Premier League continued. This match is a big test for United coach Ruben Amorim, who has ambitions to steal victory at the headquarters of their eternal rivals.
Liverpool are in a difficult period. Arne Slot's team lost three consecutive two in the Premier League against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, and one in the Champions League against Galatasaray.
Despite declining performance, the Reds are still perched in second place in the standings, only one point behind Arsenal at the top.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are still struggling to find consistency under scrutiny. The Red Devils are now in 10th position, but the Portuguese coach is said to be able to instill a new fighting mentality in his squad.
In the last five meetings, United have only lost once to Liverpool a record that gives optimism for this prestigious match.
Liverpool's shaky condition made the match predicted to be fierce. The perfect start at the start of the season now seemed to disappear after the team's performance began to decline. Criticism also arose against the way Slot played which was considered not fully integrated with Liverpool's character.
Even so, the match against Manchester United is considered a momentum revival. Full support from supporters at Anfield could be an additional fuel to restore the team's confidence. Slot is believed to be bringing down the best squad to break the negative trend.
For Amorim, this match is not just a prestige duel, but an opportunity to prove the new direction of Manchester United under his leadership.

United often appear brave in big matches, and facing Liverpool which is on the rise can be an important opportunity to steal points.
However, most of the predictions still place Liverpool as favorites. Anfield is still a difficult bulwark to penetrate, and although a landslide 7-0 victory like two years ago is unlikely to repeat itself, the Reds are still expected to be able to close the game with positive results.
