Manchester United vs Liverpool FC: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results
Arguably the Premier League’s fiercest derby takes place in the United States this weekend when Manchester United meet Liverpool for a pre-season friendly.
With the Community Shield looming, this will be Erik ten Hag’s last chance to watch his players in action before stepping out at Wembley against Manchester City.
They still have over a fortnight to prepare for their season getting underway and, having not made a signing, the new manager is ensuring he gets to grips with his squad before making any drastic changes.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Man Utd vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 12.30am BST kick-off in the early hours of Sunday August 4, 2024.
The match will take place at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.

Man Utd vs Liverpool team news
Marcus Rashford and Antony were forced off against Real Betis, so are doubts. The Red Devils will welcome back their Euro 2024 and Copa America stars after this game, so Harry Amass could continue at left-back.

Curtis Jones overcame a knock to start in Liverpool’s win over Arsenal.
After a 4-2-2-2 formation was deployed against Real Betis, Slot returned to a more orthodox 4-3-3 last time out with Mohamed Salah in his usual spot on the right wing. Like United, they remain without several international stars.
Man Utd vs Liverpool prediction
This should be a fun test of both defences with a little bit more pressure on United, given this is their final friendly.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
The tide has turned in this derby. Liverpool lost only two of 15 meetings from March 2016 to April 2022. However, the Merseyside giants have won only once in their five matches since.
