Watch That's Offside - Liverpool Vs Manchester United!
The Premier League returns from the second international break with a bang this weekend as Liverpool take on arch rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The champions go into the match on the back of a three-match losing run in all competitions.
A last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Chelsea last time out saw them deposed as Premier League leaders by Arsenal, so they will be revved up for the clash with the Red Devils.
The Merseysiders start the game as 8/13 favourites on football betting sites, but United have drawn this fixture in the last two seasons and enjoyed a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Sunderland before the break to ease the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim.
It's shaping up to be a great battle between these decorated clubs and this week's That’s Offside – the fan-led football debate show sponsored by Bet442 – is also expected to be a keenly-contested affair between two avid supporters.
In the home corner is Liverpool fan Alex Gildea Trott from TheKopTV, and flying the flag in the Red Devils corner is YouTuber Andy Tate from the Stretford Paddock.
Host Dan Muino will be on hand to keep things in check - or at least try to - as the debate promises to be every bit as intense as the action on the pitch.
That’s Offside Hot Takes: Two Fans Clash Ahead Of Sunday's Big Game
Each week on That’s Offside, our guests go head-to-head in the fast-paced Hot Takes challenge.
The format is simple, but the arguments are anything but. A spin of the wheel decides the topic - from player battles to club pride, season predictions to transfer hits and misses - and then the guests have just 90 seconds to state their case.
The host keeps the debate moving, but the final verdict on who made the stronger argument is down to you, the viewers.
We want your opinions - share them in the comments, join the chat during the show and ensure your voice is heard on That’s Offside.
You’re the debate’s VAR, and your decision is what really counts.
In our latest episode, the fans tackle five pre-game statements:
- Club: Manchester United are a bigger club than Liverpool
- Players: Only Bruno Fernandes would get into the Liverpool starting XI
- Players: Virgil van Dijk is the best centre-half either club have ever had
- Managers: David Moyes could manage Liverpool...and they'd still finish above United
- Players: Ryan Giggs is a bigger club legend than Steven Gerrard
Prepare for heated debates, sharp replies and a few truths that might hurt along the way.
From Pointless To Scoreless
As well as heated debate, we also like to bring a bit of fun to our football chats.
So after the passionate debate of Hot Takes, it's time to test the lads' football knowledge with our football quiz game, Scoreless, a variation of Pointless in which the aim of the game is to score as few points as possible.
We surveyed 100 people on football matters and asked them to name three answers from each category.
Our two contestants then had to find the most niche response to our questions, but an incorrect answer meant they scored the dreaded 100 points!
