[Fred](/people/fred/), [Bruno Fernandes](/people/bruno-fernandes/) and Eriksen potentially again featuring as the midfield three, leaving [Jadon Sancho](/people/jadon-sancho/) and [Marcus Rashford](/people/marcus-rashford/) to support Ronaldo in the forward positions. [Darwin Nunez](/people/darwin-nunez/) picked up a red card in the match with [Patrick Vieira](/people/patrick-vieira/)'s side, ruling him out of the trip to Old Trafford, while the Reds have injury problems, and they need to be careful that Man City are not allowed to open up a healthy advantage in the early stages of the campaign. Liverpool will undoubtedly be the favourites heading into Monday's encounter, and it would certainly not be a surprise to see the Merseyside giants secure all three points. [Anthony Martial](/people/anthony-martial/), who is yet to play this season due to a hamstring problem, but Ten Hag is likely to name the Frenchman on the bench, so Ronaldo, despite the speculation surrounding his future, might lead the attack once again.

Manchester United vs Liverpool: Projected starting lineups (NBC Sports)

We take a look at the projected lineups for both Manchester United and Liverpool ahead of a huge clash at Old Trafford, as both teams are struggling.

The back four picks itself and I’d bring in Joe Gomez for Nat Phillips after the latter made a poor mistake to allow Wilfried Zaha to score last time out. Erik ten Hag may stick to his guns and play an attacking 4-3-3 but I think he’d be silly to do that from the start. Look, Erik ten Hag is a man who loves to stick to his philosophy and way of playing out of the back in a 4-3-3 system. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho could be sacrificed as United should go for a more pragmatic approach. Eriksen and Fernandes ahead of them will help them keep the ball, while up top I’d expect Cristiano Ronaldo to start given his penchant for pulling off incredible moments in big games.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview: Probable Lineups... (The Hard Tackle)

Manchester United and Liverpool will both be on the lookout for their first win of the 2022/23 Premier League season when they face off on Monday.

Manchester United have been torrid so far this season and have been torn apart by two teams who, on paper, should not be a match to the Red Devils. With the transfer window set to close in less than two weeks, it looks like Ronaldo will be staying put at Old Trafford. Fabinho will anchor the midfield for the Reds and look to stifle the threat posed by Bruno Fernandes. Manchester United have been boosted by the return to training of Anthony Martial, who could be in contention to play some part against Liverpool on Monday night. The two full-backs will likely be the primary source of chance-creation for Liverpool, especially with no Thiago to pull the strings from midfield. The Portuguese maverick has been below par in his two appearances so far this season, and the situation will have only gotten more frustrating for him due to the results. Ronaldo, who was Manchester United’s top goalscorer last season, has been pushing to jump ship throughout the transfer window after the team missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification and missed almost the entire pre-season. Christian Eriksen could make way for Donny van de Beek, who could add a bit more energy and legs in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes tasked with providing the creative spark. Erik ten Hag could make changes in several positions across the pitch following the disastrous performance and result against Brentford last time out. The 4-0 hammering at the hands of the Bees last weekend left the Red Devils at the bottom of the table, although they were replaced by West Ham United in the position on Sunday. Ahead of what could be another torrid night for Ten Hag & co., The Hard Tackle takes a closer look at both teams. Manchester United were hoping to put their woes of the last season behind them and start the new era under Erik ten Hag on a positive note.
