Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

Recent results

United followed up their vital 1-0 win at Chelsea with a 2-1 victory over Brentford on Monday evening. The Red Devils have won six of their seven home matches under Michael Carrick’s rule, the 2-1 loss to Leeds being the only exception.

Liverpool are on a good run in the Premier League, with three consecutive wins recorded over Fulham (2-0), Everton (1-2) and – most recently – Crystal Palace (3-1).

Head-to-head record

United won 2-1 at Anfield earlier in the season, though that is their only Premier League success vs Liverpool in the last six attempts.

The previous meeting at Old Trafford saw Liverpool record a huge 3-0 victory.

Team news

Lisandro Martinez is still suspended for United, while Matthijs de Ligt remains an injury absentee. Matheus Cunha and Luke Shaw are both doubts.

Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool’s lengthy injury list vs Crystal Palace and won’t feature here – which is perhaps music to Carrick’s ears given his record vs the Red Devils. Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo and Giorgi Mamardashvili are out, while Alisson Becker is still a doubt. As such, Freddie Woodman could keep his place in goal.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.43

The last four Premier League meetings between United and Liverpool saw over 2.5 goals scored. Furthermore, the previous four games at Old Trafford resulted in the same selection landing, so backing it again feels like a wise move to make.

To assist a goal – Bruno Fernandes @ 3.00

Fernandes recorded his 19th assist of the campaign vs Brentford, and is hunting down the single-season record. The creative maestro has tallied an assist in six of the previous seven top-flight outings, a phenomenal record which we can only see him extending on Sunday.

Casemiro to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 2.50

Casemiro was on target again vs Brentford, taking him to nine goals for the campaign – impressive for a defensive midfielder. His threat from set-pieces can certainly trouble Liverpool’s back-line, with the Brazilian recording at least one shot on target in five of his last seven appearances. A potential source of value right here!
