Premier League leaders Liverpool face the first serious test of their title credentials against Chelsea this weekend as the English top flight returns after an international break.
Although Chelsea are undefeated in their past seven games in all competitions, are just four points behind Liverpool as new manager Enzo Maresca earns praise for quietly resetting the culture at Stamford Bridge.
On the same contrary, the Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is struggling to avoid being sacked and cannot afford another flop from his troubled team.
As the walls close on Erik ten Hag, the under-fire Manchester United manager’s fate could be settled over the next week.
Ten Hag is fighting to avoid the sack after United’s worst start to a top-flight season since 1989/90.
Languishing in 14th place with only two wins from seven league matches, United are without a victory in their past five games in all competitions.
After United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe sounded out Thomas Tuchel over his potential interest in replacing Ten Hag after the end of last season, the Dutchman might have breathed a sigh of relief when the former Bayern Munich and Chelsea boss accepted an offer to become England’s new manager this week.
