Liverpool v Manchester UTD Betting Preview
Liverpool are on a four-game winning run which has seen them scoring 16 goals in the process, including a 5-0 win at West Ham to close out last year. Courtesy of that win, the Reds now are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand. The Merseysiders have lost just one of 27 matches under Arne Slot (W23, D3) and are unbeaten in 23. They also top the Champions League table with a 100% winning record after 6 matchdays, with 13 goals scored and just one conceded.
Manchester UTD United are struggling in 14th place after last week's home defeat against Newcastle (2-0). After a dismal run of four consecutive defeats, the visitors are only seven points clear of the relegation zone, and already out of the Carabao Cup at the quarter-final stage. The Red Devils have lost the last three Premier League games without even scoring a single goal, and have collected just seven league points from a possible 24 (W2, D1, L5) under Ruben Amorim.
Liverpool are 7-5-1 (W-D-L) in their last 13 Premier League games vs Manchester United, outscoring the team 32-8. United have not won away at Liverpool since the 2015/16 campaign, with five losses and four draws since. Earlier this season Reds eased past Man Utd in a comfortable 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in September, thanks to brace from Luis Diaz and a goal from Mohamed Salah.
Best Odds
Liverpool are heavy favorites to get all three points, with the top betting sites offer 31/100 (1.31) for the home win. A Man UTD win is backable at 9/1 (10.00) while the draw is available at 11/2 (6.50).
Team News & Probable Line-Ups
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Diaz, Gakpo
Liverpool lost Joe Gomez to an injury against West Ham, meaning that Jarell Quansah will partner Virgil Van Dijk at the hart of the back, as Ibrahima Konate is not 100% fit. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson should continue at full-back while Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are set to continue their partnership in midfield. Up front, Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo look untouchable while Luis Diaz is likely to get the nod over Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez for the remaining berth.
Manchester UTD (3-4-2-1): Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Mainoo, Ugarte, Mazraoui; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund
Manchester UTD will welcome back both Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte following their suspensions against Newcastle, but Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are seemingly all still on the injury list. Marcus Rashford, who is expected to leave the Red Devils this month, is a doubt due to illness. Kobbie Mainoo is also likely to feature form the off, after being rested against the Magpies, with Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Joshua Zirkzee making way. Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line, while Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui will start as wing backs.
Our Liverpool v Manchester UTD Predictions
Liverpool look an unstoppable force at the moment. They are playing brilliant football, boasting the best attack of the league with 45 goals netted, the best defense with 17 goals conceded, and 8 clean sheets so far.
Man UTD have lost six of their last eight matches, and all but two of those losses were by more than a one-goal margin.
Moreover, the Red Devils have scored just one goal in their last eight Premier League away games against Liverpool, failing to score in each of the last five.
As a consequence, we back Liverpool to win by a wide margin, and probably without conceding despite few absences at the back.
We also recommend Gakpo to score anytime and Liverpool to win 4-0 in the Correct Score market.
