Encounters between these arch-nemeses have taken a decidedly strange turn in recent seasons, and this afternoon's clash is set up to follow suit. Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool made a habit of not just beating Man Utd but humiliating them, yet their last five meetings have produced two United victories, two draws, and one Liverpool win.

Both sets of fans thought revolution was in the air this summer, only for their respective teams to pick up precisely where they left off. That's no bad thing for Liverpool, who have won both of their games in signature counterattacking style, with Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz making runs in behind.

Not so for Man Utd, who still look entirely reliant on individual moments. Joshua Zirkzee got them out of jail against Fulham, but against Brighton their midfield was bypassed time and time again, and both of the goals they conceded were scored by completely unmarked players. 

Line-ups:

Man Utd team: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Mainoo, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee

Liverpool team: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Jota

Tune in, and make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

You can still watch Man Utd vs Liverpool live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch a Man Utd vs Liverpool live stream on Peacock, NBC's streaming service. To tune in, you'll need to be signed up for either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month), which also gets rid of some ads.

If you're outside of the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can watch the Man Utd vs Liverpool live stream by using a VPN, such as NordVPN.

Sky Sports hosts the Man Utd vs Liverpool live stream in the U.K., so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. The game will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, as long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or month-long access for £34.99. 

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the UK, you can still follow a Man Utd vs Liverpool live stream by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN
