Liverpool have suffered a fourth straight defeat across all competitions after being beaten at Anfield by bitter rivals Manchester United on Sunday. Bryan Mbeumo broke the deadlock after just two minutes as he ran on to Amad Diallo’s pass and squeezed the ball under Giorgi Mamardashvili to give the Red Devils a dream start.

Facing a United side who are struggling for consistency, and with the return home, it could be a good chance for Slot to see if Wirtz can build on that. Liverpool's ceiling will be raised if they can get him going, and if a match like this isn't a spot to build on things, it'll be tough to see what is.

It took Manchester United just 62 seconds to take the lead at Liverpool on Sunday and Bryan Mbeumo’s goal came in controversial fashion. After a long ball forward looped into the air, Virgil van Dijk pushed Mbeumo out of the way but his elbow caught the back of the head of his teammate Alexis Mac Allister.
