Erik ten Hag has enjoyed the better of this derby since arriving in Manchester but, when United tank against Liverpool, they tank hard - recent defeats including 7-0, 5-0 and 4-0.
After losing to Brighton last weekend, United know a failure to get a result here risks puncturing any feel-good factor around the new campaign.
Last season saw a pair of league draws either side of Amad Diallo’s dramatic extra-time winner in March’s epic seven-goal FA Cup quarter-final tie.
