Liverpool XI vs Manchester United: ISAK OUT - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League

Alisson Becker and Alexander Isak will both miss out for Liverpool through injury as they visit Manchester United today.

First-choice goalkeeper Alisson has not played for the Reds since the 4-0 Champions League last-16 second-leg win over Galatasaray on March 18, missing the last seven matches across all competitions due to a latest hamstring injury.

The Brazil international returned to the grass last week and was said by Arne Slot to be close to playing against Crystal Palace, though ended up not being involved in the 3-1 victory at Anfield.

Freddie Woodman starts between the sticks, then, with young Hungarian prospect Armin Pecsi his understudy.

Alexander Isak, meanwhile, is injured yet again and misses this match with a reported groin strain.

Mohamed Salah misses out, too.

Curtis Jones has fared well at right-back for Liverpool of late and starts here, but will move back into his native midfield with Jeremie Frimpong and Andy Robertson taking up the full-back roles.

Ryan Gravenberch got a rest for 80 minutes in the win over Palace, but returns against United to resume his midfield partnership with Alexis Mac Allister, who got his own breather against Everton.

A youthful bench featuring the wonderkid Rio Ngumoha will hope for a chance to impress.

Liverpool XI: Woodman; Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Wirtz, Gakpo.

Subs: Pecsi, Gomez, Kerkez, Chiesa, Nyoni, Morrison, Ngumoha, Ndiaye, Wright

Injured: Isak, Alisson, Salah, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Endo, Bradley, Leoni

Time and date: 3:30pm BST on Sunday May 3, 2026

Venue: Old Trafford
