Jose Mourinho's Manchester United face Liverpool after the international break
Manchester United travel to Liverpool in the first Saturday back after the international break.
United top the table alongside Manchester City after a rampant start to the campaign.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have already fallen seven points off the league leaders and sit seventh in the table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been impressive in front of goal but at the back they have conceded 12 goals in six games.
Only Crystal Palace and West Ham have a worse defensive record in the top flight and Aldridge has warned free-scoring United could have fun at Old Trafford.
“I’m not Jose Mourinho’s biggest fan for a variety of reasons,” ex-Liverpool star Aldridge told the Irish Independent.
“But he gets his teams winning if you give him time and with Romelu Lukaku scoring goals for fun and his defence looking like the best in the Premier League, United are ready to push for the title for the first time since Alex Ferguson’s retirement as their manager.
“It may still be too early to write off teams like Chelsea and Tottenham, but if United were to win at Anfield and open up a ten-point lead over Klopp’s side, the game would already be up for Liverpool.

“That would be very hard to take for a team that continues to make the same mistakes week-after-week, with Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Newcastle the latest example of the frustrating story we watch every time they take to the field now.”
Liverpool have won just one of their last seven games in all competitions and also face title hopefuls Tottenham this October.
