Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
Premier League leaders Liverpool host struggling Manchester United who are 14th in the table. The Reds ended 2024 with a six point lead at the top of the table and with a game in hand on their rivals. That lead will be cut by the the time this match begins and it'd be just three if Arsenal win at Brighton. The Red Devils meanwhile can only dream of such success and could even face a relegation battle in the coming months.
United are only seven points above the bottom three as the new year got underway. They'll certainly be hoping for a better 2025 and there are going to be many changes at Old Trafford in the 12 months that lie ahead. With their last four league and cup matches all being lost, the last thing they need at present is a trip to high-scoring Liverpool. Can they cause a big shock? Read our match prediction.

Liverpool - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Liverpool have won 14 of their 18 games in the Premier League this season with just one defeat. That one loss was at home to Nottingham Forest but not such a bad result as it looked at the time.
Their last four games have all been won and 16 goals scored. Seven out of nine home league matches have been won by Liverpool this season with only six goals conceded. They are unbeaten in 23 matches since that loss to Forest.
Depressing statistics galore for United.
There are plenty of depressing statistics for Manchester United fans. The main one has to be the fact they have less than half the points Liverpool have and the Reds have a game in hand on them.
Just six league games have been won this season and they've suffered nine defeats. Their last four games have all been lost with 11 goals put past them. They haven't won a league game at Anfield since 2016 and it's seven years since they even scored against them.

Liverpool & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Liverpool will be without Joe Gomez for this match. The defender suffered a hamstring injury in their win at West Ham. Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konaté are back in training but Sunday's game may come too early for them.
Dominik Szoboszlai is available again after serving his suspension in the most recent match. Whether he can oust the impressive Curtis Jones from the starting line-up remains to be seen.
Rashford will miss this match.
January will see plenty of transfer gossip regarding Marcus Rashford. He won't be playing on Sunday though as he's been ruled out because of illness. United will have Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte back after completing their suspensions.
Kobbie Mainoo impressed when coming on as a sub against Newcastle and could start this match. He could well replace Joshua Zirkzee who has been disappointing of late, though he's not been the only one. Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are still out injured.

Our Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction
If Manchester United play against Liverpool as they did in the first half against Newcastle, this could be a verey long afternoon for them. They trail Liverpool by 23 points and have played a game more than their rivals.
They were pretty appalling in their last match and away form has had little to cheer up the suffering United fans. Liverpool can't stop winning and scoring at present and our main Liverpool v Manchester United prediction is Liverpool half time/full time.
