Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction & Picks - Premier League

 by Simon Day in Premier League Picks

The biggest game of the Premier League weekend sees runaway leaders Liverpool host crisis club Manchester United in a huge Super Sunday clash. Arne Slot's men have scored an incredible 14 goals in their last 3 games and with the likes of Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz all in fantastic form, it is hard to see anyone stopping the Reds from claiming their second Premier League title. In contrast, United are at arguably their lowest point of the Premier League era. New boss Ruben Amorim has failed to turn around a miserable season and following three successive defeats, United are now only seven points above the relegation zone. Another defeat on Sunday would put Amorim's position under threat even at this early stage of his tenure.

Our Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction

This is a monumental challenge for United and it is hard to envisage them leaving Anfield with anything other than a heavy defeat. Their recent displays have been abysmal, which makes this the worst possible time to face a Liverpool outfit playing some scintillating football. A key part of the Reds' recent success has been the goalscoring form of Cody Gakpo. The Dutch forward has found the net in four of his last five games at Anfield and we are backing him to continue his excellent run as Liverpool romp to an easy win. Our prediction for Liverpool vs Manchester United is: Liverpool to win and Cody Gakpo to score.

Prediction:

 

Liverpool to win and Cody Gakpo to score
