Liverpool v Man United Preview

Liverpool’s Form

Arne Slot has quite the remarkable first season so far at Liverpool guiding his new club to a phenomenal record of 23 wins from 27 games for a win rate of 85.19% with a goal difference of +46. It’s that consistent form that has them now 2/9 favourites for the Premier League, 5/1 for the FA Cup, 8/5 for the League Cup and 4/1 favourites for the Champions League per the latest odds at BoyleSports.

Liverpool lead the Premier League with 45 points from their opening 18 games putting them 6 clear of closest challengers Arsenal as well as having a game in hand over the North London outfit. The Expected Points table also has them top with 41.70 points suggesting their form is sustainable and still ahead of Arsenal’s total of 39.37 points.

They’re unbeaten in their last 14 league games with that form it’s no surprise they’re heavy favourites to defeat Man United.

Last time out they ran out comprehensive winners over West Ham.

Man United’s Form

Since the departure of the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson, several managers have assumed the hot seat at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim is the 10th man tasked with bringing back the “glory days” at the club but if the new man was under any doubts his opening few weeks in the job have served as a stark reminder of the task at hand with just 4 wins from his opening 11 games in the dugout.

The club’s poor form is demonstrated no better by the fact they currently sit 14th in the league only 7 points ahead of Ipswich who are in the relegation zone and a staggering 23 points off their opponents in this game Liverpool. The difference between both sides has never been more evident. Their Expected Points performance has them slightly better off though in 11th with 27.69 points though evidently still a far cry from their days of dominance.

A shock would not even put them in the top half of the table such has been their poor form in their opening 19 league games. The Red Devils will hope to channel last season's dramatic FA Cup victory.

Key Players To Watch

Mohamed Salah – Liverpool

The man affectionately known as “The Egyptian King” by Liverpool fans might be approaching the “Twilight” of his career at (32) but he remains a constant menace for opposition defenders.

This season he has 20 goals and 17 assists in 26 games across all competitions. He can be gotten at 3/1 to score first or at 4/5 to score at any time in this game.

Amad Diallo – Man United

Amad has been in and out of the Man United starting side all season but has found an important place in the team now whether that be in his newfound RWB role or his natural AM position. In an underperforming United side, he is one of the few glimmers of light at the moment.

He has 5 goals and 7 assists in 27 games and 1609 and he can be gotten at 14/1 to score first and 5/1 to score at any time and repeat his heroics from his winner against Liverpool last season.

Liverpool v Man United Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Man United

Liverpool are the most consistent side in Europe and if they play at peak performance on Sunday could put on a display reminiscent of their 7-0, 4-0 and 0-5 wins over Man United in the last 4 years.

Man United are in a spiral and though they were able to muster a win over an out-of-form Man City recently, if they don’t turn up at Anfield on Sunday the scoreline could get ugly.

Liverpool are playing on a different stratosphere to United at the moment and should win comfortably.

Best Bet: Liverpool Win + BTTS @ 7/4
