This Sunday's clash between Liverpool and Manchester United highlights the stark contrast in fortunes between the two historic rivals. Liverpool, a powerhouse in European and domestic competitions, faces a struggling United battling for Premier League survival.
Liverpool versus Manchester United used to be English soccer’s fiercest rivalry. Sunday’s showdown at Anfield pits two teams going in opposite directions.

Amorim has quickly realized the size of the job after six defeats in his past eight games. This week he admitted he could be in a relegation fight. “It is a possibility,” he said. “We have to be clear with our fans.”While United has made a mess of trying to replace a managerial great, Liverpool has made it look easy. Arne Slot took on the unenviable task of filling the void left by Jurgen Klopp at the end of last season and has driven the team to new levels. Klopp won a full set of trophies at Anfield and was denied much more success in the Premier League than just the 2020 title only by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester Cit
