After a successful and unbeaten pre-season campaign, the Reds are preparing to welcome Frank Lampard’s Blues for an eagerly anticipated league match.

The first competitive fixture of the season is always an exciting occasion for fans and, annually, provides an opportunity to watch new signings in the flesh.

New recruits Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are expected to feature - and possibly start - following their impressive performances throughout Tour 2019.

Our new no.5 Harry Maguire could also make his United debut, after the England defender completed his transfer from Leicester City on Monday. He made four appearances during the Foxes' summer friendlies and hopes to be selected.
