Premier League leaders Liverpool will no doubt be licking their lips ahead of today’s huge clash with Manchester United got the all-clear to go ahead following snowfall.
Arne Slot’s side put in another statement performance last time out, running out 5-0 winners against a hapless West Ham to build up a significant lead in the title race, which is now feeling like little more than a march towards the crown after both Chelsea and Arsenal again dropped points on Saturday.

Looking imperious as things stand, Slot’s side are heavy favourites on Sunday, but the game was in doubt after heavy snowfall across Merseyside overnight. A second meeting at midday on the day of the game deemed conditions safe enough for fans travelling to attend the game.
The Red Devils were lucky to lose only 2-0 to Newcastle on Monday and Ruben Amorim has admitted his side are facing the prospect of a relegation battle after five defeats in six in the league and concerns over the mentality of his players.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Liverpool vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 4.30pm GMT kick-off time today, Sunday, January 5, 2025.
Anfield in Liverpool will host.

United will surely show some sort of reaction to Monday’s defeat but even with that, it would be hard to see them getting from Anfield. Liverpool are the best team in the land, and by some distance, and United are among the weakest teams in the division despite Ruben Amorim’s best efforts.
