Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview
After three defeats in a row to Crystal Palace (2-1), Galatasaray (1-0) and Chelsea (2-1), this really is a must-win match for Liverpool.
Arne Slot’s champions trail Arsenal by one point in the Premier League table, so getting back to winning ways is of utmost importance.
Liverpool will certainly be happy to return to Anfield following three tough away trips, with the Reds winning all five home matches across all competitions – the most recent a crucial 2-1 victory over local rivals Everton.
And visitors United are yet to win a single away game this season, suffering a 3-0 loss at Manchester City and a 3-1 defeat to Brentford.
Ruben Amorim’s team have been far stronger at home, though, claiming wins over Burnley (3-2), Chelsea (2-1) and Sunderland (2-0), which is why the Red Devils are up to 10th in the table.
United also avoided defeat at Anfield last season, drawing 2-2 thanks to an 80th-minute equaliser from Amad Diallo.
Diallo should play a key role at right-wing back again on Sunday, especially with Noussair Mazraoui set to miss out again through injury. But aside from that, United have a fairly clean bill of health, with Mason Mount expected to resume his more attack-minded role at the expense of Matheus Cunha after scoring against Sunderland.
Alisson Becker is the major absentee for Liverpool, with Giorgi Mamardashvili set to feature in goal once again after a Premier League debut at Stamford Bridge, while Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch are both doubts.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Liverpool are, of course, the favourites to pick up all three points at a price of 1.60. A United win is at odds of 5.10, while the draw is 4.10.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Mohamed Salah @ 2.10
Salah has not been at his best so far this season (by his lofty standards), but his record against United is extraordinary. In 17 previous appearances vs the Red Devils, the Egyptian scored 16 goals, which is borderline ridiculous. He also netted in both fixtures last term. So we are a tad surprised to see you can more-than-double your money on another Salah goal vs United!
Anytime goalscorer – Benjamin Sesko @ 3.10
Sesko is beginning to show signs of life in a United shirt, netting twice in four Premier League starts. With the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, Mount and Cunha supplying him, the giant Slovenian striker has proven to be a bit of a handful. And with Liverpool looking anything but assured defensively, evidenced by the latter stages of the defeat to Chelsea, we are backing Sesko to silence the Anfield crowd at one point in the match.
Milos Kerkez to commit over 0.5 fouls @ 1.73
Kerkez has struggled to adjust to life at Liverpool after joining from Bournemouth, and he faces a stern examination in this match from the lively Mbeumo. The Cameroon forward always looks to drive forward with the ball from the right flank, and has been United’s brightest spark this season. And given the fact the Red Devils will play mostly on the counter, Kerkez should be drawn into making at least one foul.
