What channel is Liverpool v Man Utd Premier League match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time

A dismal run of four consecutive defeats saw the visitors end 2024 in 14th and exit the Carabao Cup at the quarter-final stage.

Talk of a relegation battle is premature, but things could well get worse before they get better for Amorim – with a trip to Anfield and an FA Cup away day against Arsenal up next.

Patience and reinforcements are needed, but the dissenting voices will grow louder if his side suffer another embarrassing defeat at the hands of their rivals.

Liverpool will fancy their chances of doing just that. They have scored three or more goals against them six times in the last four years, and are on a four-game winning run which has seen them find the net 16 times and included a 5-0 win at West Ham to close out last year.

That victory has the Reds six points clear at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand.

They eased past Man Utd in a comfortable 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in September, and the gap between the sides looks even wider now – so this could be one to forget for the visitors.
