Match Preview

It is always a huge occasion when Man United and Liverpool lock horns, as the English giants have achieved more success than any other club sides in the country. However, Liverpool will come into the match this weekend in better form after winning each of their previous three in the Premier League. A fourth straight success would see them extend their advantage at the summit.

Man United will be looking for a much better performance than they have managed recently. The Red Devils have suffered defeats in each of their last two across all competitions, with their most recent loss against Bayern Munich ensuring that they finished bottom of their Champions League group for just the second time in history.

Liverpool boasts a significant advantage in the head-to-head record, going seven without defeat against United at Anfield. Meanwhile, the Reds have won each of the last two on Merseyside by an aggregate scoreline of 11-0. United have also failed to score in each of their last four matches away from home against Liverpool.

The Red Devils have struggled against sides in the top eight away from home since Erik ten Hag took over, evident from the fact that they are winless in their last eight. In fact, their most recent away win against a side in the top eight came under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a 3-0 win on the road at Tottenham in October 2021.

Liverpool vs Man United Prediction

United’s squad was weakened further in midweek following injuries sustained by Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. Defensively, it looks hard to see United keeping Liverpool out this weekend, meaning that the best bet could come on the spread.
