The 32nd round of the English Premier League culminates in a highly anticipated clash today at Old Trafford. Local giants Manchester United vs their arch-rivals Liverpool in a match with significant implications for both sides.

Their Recent Performance

Manchester United's season has fallen short of expectations. Currently languishing in sixth place, their hopes of securing European football next season appear slim. Erik ten Hag's men are nine points behind Tottenham Hotspur with just eight games left, and recent results suggest bridging the gap might be a bridge too far.

United's midweek trip to Chelsea encapsulated their struggles. Despite clawing back from a two-goal deficit, a late penalty and a conceded corner snatched victory from their grasp. This defeat marked their 12th in the league, the joint-worst record in the top ten alongside Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Liverpool capitalized on a draw between Manchester City and Arsenal to ascend to the Premier League summit. Jurgen Klopp's team secured convincing wins over Brighton and Sheffield United to solidify their position.

The Reds currently hold a two-point lead over Arsenal and a three-point advantage over City. Interestingly, all three top contenders secured wins in their respective midweek fixtures, maintaining the status quo at the top. A standout performance came from Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who has been in scintillating form, contributing five goals and five assists in Liverpool's last ten matches.

What Is Expected In This Manchester United vs Liverpool Match

Adding spice to this encounter is the recent history between the two sides. While their first Premier League meeting this season ended in a goalless stalemate, the previous campaign saw Liverpool demolish United 7-0 at Old Trafford. However, the tides may be turning. Their FA Cup encounter in March saw a dramatic United victory, edging out Liverpool 4-3 in extra time. Notably, this marked Liverpool's second consecutive winless outing at Old Trafford.

Today's Manchester United vs Liverpool clash promises to be a captivating battle. United will be desperate to salvage some pride and potentially dent Liverpool's title ambitions, while the Reds will be determined to maintain their lead at the top of the table. The atmosphere at Old Trafford is sure to be electric, making this a must-watch for any Premier League fan.
