Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

The shadow of last year’s nightmare looms large over Old Trafford as Manchester United prepare to face Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final.

It was just twelve months ago that the Red Devils were on the receiving end of a humiliating 7-0 thrashing at Anfield, a result that still sends shivers down the spines of United supporters.

However, United did win their last encounter against Liverpool at Old Trafford 2-1 and also managed to snatch a point at Anfield earlier this season. 

For Manchester United, the FA Cup has offered some solace, with comfortable wins over Wigan, Newport County and Nottingham Forest.

However, standing in their way of a trip to Wembley is the relentless juggernaut that is Liverpool.

Even with a string of injuries disrupting their squad, the Reds seem unstoppable. They’ve already secured the EFL Cup and are a frontrunner in the title race, sitting joint top of the Premier League table.

The only blemish on their recent record was a draw with Manchester City last weekend, a result that left them robbed after they were denied a late penalty.

Liverpool’s unwavering momentum and hunger for trophies make them a truly daunting prospect for any opponent, let alone a United side still searching for their footing.

This weekend is a very interesting match-up. Although all the stats and form suggest Liverpool should march on towards Wembley; at home, Manchester United will be desperate to get something.

With Liverpool’s injuries, could we see a shock United win and a chance to salvage some silverware?

Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Bet Builder: Liverpool to win, over 1.5 goals and over 8.5 corners @ 2.50

While United won the last match between these two at Old Trafford, you can’t see them beating this in-form Liverpool side.

Klopp’s side will arrive ready to push onto the next stage and Liverpool could well take advantage of a leaky and injury-stricken United defence. 

Mo Salah to score anytime @ 2.13 

Salah has amassed a staggering 12 goals against Manchester United, more than against any other side. Can the Egyptian add to his impressive haul and extend his dominance over United?
