Liverpool v Manchester UTD Betting Preview
Liverpool seems to have re-entered the title race and aims to replicate their 2019/20 season. They are top of the league after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park last weekend. The Reds have collected 37 points off 16 games, 10 points more than their opponents Man United (who currently sit 6th in the table). At Anfield, Liverpool have a 100% winning record this season, having won all 7 outings so far. In Midweek, Jurgen Klopp's men won their Europa League group despite losing 2-1 away in Belgium against Union St. Gilloise.
There was optimism that Manchester UTDmay have turned a corner when they beat Chelsea 2-1 at the start of December but they were thrashed 3-0 at Bournemouth last weekend. That was their 7th defeat in sixteen Premier League matches so far. The Red Devils subsequently knocked out of the Champions League after narrowly losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich at Old trafford. United boss Erik ten Hag is walking on thin ice right now. If his team get hammered at Liverpool again then the Dutchman may be out of a job.
Man UTD have gone over two years without winning away against a team in the top eight of the table. As to direct encounters, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League home games against Manchester United. The last time the Red Devils made the short trip to Anfield Road, they suffered an hystoric 7-0 defeat, their heaviest Premier League defeat ever.
Best Odds
Liverpool are heavy favorites to get all three points, with BetUK pricing them at 1/3. A Man UTD win is backable at 8/1 with Coral while the draw is available at 5/1 with William Hill.
Team News & Probable Line-Ups
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker were all rested on Thursday and are expected to return here from the kick-off. Alexis Mac Allister is expected to miss the game due to a cut knee while Diogo Jota, Andry Robertson and Thiago Alcantara are all out through injury. Up front, Salah will be partnered by Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez as Diogo Jota remains sidelined. Three new summer signings will from the midfield trio - Dominic Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch.
Man UTD (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Varane, Dalot; Amrabat, Mainoo; Antony, McTominay, Garnacho; Hojlund
Man UTD are without captain Bruno Fernandes and key defender Harry Maguire. The duo have joined Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount and Christian Erikesen. As a result, Luke Shaw will partner Raphael Varane at the heart of the back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot as full backs. Kobbie Mainoo and Sofiane Amrabat will anchor the midfield, while Scott McTominay will be advanced in the number ten position. Rasmus Hojlund will spearhead the attack, with Antony and Alejandro Garnacho favorites over Marcus Rashford for the winger berths.
Our Liverpool v Manchester UTD Predictions
On paper, Man United may benefit from an additional two days of recovery from their European exertions but the Reds actually played in Belgium with an experimental XI comprising fringe and academy players.
Liverpool are enjoying a seven-game Premier League winning run at home and it’s hard to look past anything but a comfortable home win.
The Reds are averaging three goals scored per game at home in the league this term so we expect Salah & co. to frustrate a shaky Man UTD's defense.
A 3-1 or 4-1 Liverpool win is our pick.
As to possible goalscorers, Luis Diaz's odds are appealing. The 35/1 price boost on both teams to score is also a bargain.
