If Liverpool should draw with Manchester United, they know what's at stake for them in the Premier League table. A draw with Manchester United indicates that they wish to give up ground to Arsenal to stay above them, as Arsenal will undoubtedly win at home against Brighton. Therefore, regardless of how defensively Manchester United plays, Liverpool will make every effort to defeat Manchester United to maintain their recent top position in the Premier League standings.
Don't worry, Liverpool have improved this season. Manchester United is not ready to win the match against Liverpool and I believe that considering the inconsistency of their performance. Ten Hag seems to have lost a lot of confidence in winning big games, so I don't think he can do much when he comes to Anfield.
We'll see the proof later, but if Manchester United is able to steal points from Liverpool at Anfield then Liverpool will lose their top position which will be taken by Arsenal. A draw is still possible to consider in the Liverpool vs Manchester United match, but I think the risk is too big.
