Without a doubt, one Premier League fixture that always lives up to expectations is a clash between Liverpool and Man United.
Though it may not technically count as a derby – due to the locations of both clubs – it’s a rivalry that never disappoints, as their previous encounters have proved.
Liverpool claimed a 3-0 victory in their first meeting of the season, as Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah combined to sink a United side coach by Erik ten Hag at the time.
Now, it’s Ruben Amorim’s chance to get one over on their Merseyside rivals, as he looks to steer United out of their current rut.
Along with Amorim, though, will be a supporting cast of WAGs that will be cheering on the Red Devils – with Liverpool’s partners also likely to be in the stands on the day.
Here, Mail Sport takes a look at the WAGs on both sides ahead of the clash.

Bruno Fernandes gives an honest assessment of the atmosphere at Man United amid worst-ever start
Fernandes revealed earlier this year that Ana – who is a former futsal referee – had to pay for their early dates because he was skint as a teenager.
Writing in an open letter in May, Fernandes said: ‘Ana has been with me on this ride since we were 16, 17, 18 years old.
‘We met as teenagers, and when we first started dating, I wasn’t making any money as a footballer, and she had a nice job working as a futsal referee on the weekends.
‘She used to do three or four matches in a row on a Saturday, and then we would always go to the cinema on Sundays.
‘I personally didn’t have much money at the time so Ana was the one who had to pay for our movie tickets. Same with going out to dinner. Even at the pizza shop, she had to pay.’

Dr Melanie Kamayou – wife of Andre Onana
Dr Melanie Kamayou is an entrepreneur, model and influencer.
She is also, as her title suggests, a doctor – after earning a doctorate degree from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health in May 2022.
Melanie hit the headlines a year earlier in 2021 after her goalkeeper husband Andre Onana was issued with a nine-month ban from all football-related activity for violating anti-doping regulations.
Onana was said to have ingested banned substance Furosemide by mistake when he took some pills that had been prescribed to his wife, after he got the packaging mixed up.
