Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
A blockbuster match in the Premier League is on the cards this weekend as Manchester United prepare to take on arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday evening. The Red Devils are in 11th place with three points after the first two games of the new season, while the Reds are fourth with six points over the same period. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Still considered the greatest rivalry in the English Premier League, matches between Man United and Liverpool seldom disappoint, and this one should be no different, with the two most successful clubs in the land set to go toe-to-toe for the first time this season.
Liverpool arrive at Old Trafford as the clear favourites having made a perfect start to the new campaign, but United, now with Sir Jim Ratcliffe pulling the strings behind the scenes, are a different side to the one they were last year, and will be looking to upset the odds. Here are the key stats for this mouth-watering matchup.

Manchester United - Liverpool: Form Analysis
It has been a mixed start to the new season for Manchester United, who have brought in several new players over the summer transfer window as they look to return to prominence after several years of heartache.
Indeed, the Red Devils won the FA Cup last season, but that result merely covered up what was the club’s worst-ever season in the Premier League, finishing eighth, 31 points behind their cross-town rivals Manchester City.
United kicked off the season with a solid performance, beating Fulham 1-0 on opening day, but they failed to follow up that result, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.
Both Premier League matches between these sides last season ended level!
In between those league draws, though, Liverpool were beaten by United in extraordinary circumstances in the FA Cup last season, and will be looking to exact their revenge this weekend.
The Reds, now under the guidance of Arne Slot, have already notched up back-to-back wins against Ipswich Town and Brentford this term, both by a 2-0 scoreline.
Last season, Liverpool took 34 points in 19 away matches and following those victories over the first two matchdays of this term, the Reds are now unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches dating back to the end of April.

Manchester United & Liverpool Squad Analysis
Man United were dealt a significant injury blow in the lead-up to this match, with Mason Mount sustaining a hamstring injury against Brighton and he is set to miss out this weekend.
Mount will join the likes of Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, Daniel Gore, Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund, all of whom have been sidelined through injury, though the latter could make a surprise return if he passes a late fitness test.
New signing Manuel Ugarte will not feature against Liverpool this weekend!
Liverpool, on the other hand, have just one injury absentee of note in the form of Curtis Jones, while new arrival Federico Chiesa is flagged as a major doubt owing to a lack of match fitness.
Mohamed Salah, who has scored 11 goals and provided four assists against United in 13 matches, has already scored in both the Reds’ games this season and will be looking to add to his tally in this one.

Our Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction
While Manchester United have made several notable signings this season, they have not found the right balance just yet as was evident when they played Brighton last weekend.
Still, this fixture tends to bring the best out of both these teams, and while we are not expecting a 7-0 scoreline like we saw when these sides faced off in March last year, we do feel there will be a fair few hitting the back of the net in this one. Our Manchester United vs Liverpool prediction: Over 2.5!
