Liverpool predicted Starting XI for Premier League Matchday 3 against Man United

That's two wins down with a pair of clean sheets for Arne Slot in the Premier League. It's been a dream start for club and coach to this point in the season.

However, things are about to ramp up several levels as the first marquee fixture of his tenure is fast approaching. Manchester United is always a team that we as Liverpool supporters expect only one result and anything to the contrary is a damaging blow.

While they have brought in several new names into their ranks, they still suffered a shock defeat at the weekend to Brighton so we will be facing them in a foul mood.

It'll take a strong showing from the Reds to get the job done in this one. Let's take a look at how Slot could lineup his charges on Sunday.

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson

Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai

Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz

Probable Subs: Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott

Yes, that is a totally unchanged lineup from the Brentford match and why should it change? It was another strong showing and there wasn't a player that put in a bad shift on the day.

I believe Slot will stick with what has worked extraordinarily well so far and he can alter his gameplan on the day.

Konate was immense in the win over the Bees as he dominated in almost every facet of the game using his pace and power to his supreme advantage. He will be needed to battle the United assets on set-pieces.

The fullbacks are obvious locks as they have both begun the season very bright and they are once again crucial cogs in the Liverpool attack. They could be used to unlock what could be a cautious United defense.

The midfield trio looks the same as well as they are all beginning to mesh together and play better and better.

This will be the biggest test of Gravenberch's credentials as a No. 6 yet, so it'll be important for him to get off to a quick start or we could see Endo or Curtis Jones sooner than later.

The front three have been potent as well and they deserve another crack at the apple together again. Jota and Salah in particular have looked outstanding through two games. They could wreak havoc on a vulnerable Manchester United defense.

Liverpool will have their own firepower on the bench and I believe that Gakpo, Nunez and Elliott will have big roles to play on Sunday.
