Manchester United's Premier League campaign has been marked by inconsistent performances, with the team struggling to find its footing despite boasting a talented squad.
On Sunday, they face a daunting task as they host Liverpool, who have been in resurgent form and are the only team to remain unbeaten this season.
Manchester United's attack has been a subject of praise, but the team's inability to press opponents and create chances has raised questions about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactics.
The Liverpool manager, Juergen Klopp, has been praised for his ability to set up his team to win the ball back and create chances, and Solskjaer will be keen to observe this approach firsthand.
With Liverpool's impressive form, including scoring at least three goals in each of their last eight away games, the visitors will be favourites to win the match.
Chelsea, who lead Liverpool by one point, will also be looking to maintain their lead as they host winless Norwich City.
Thomas Tuchel's side has the joint-best defensive record in the top flight, but they face a challenge in keeping their unbeaten run intact.
Manchester City visit Brighton & Hove Albion in a top-four battle, while West Ham United host Tottenham Hotspur, who will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses.
Other matches on Sunday include Newcastle United's trip to Crystal Palace and Arsenal's home game against Aston Villa.
