Liverpool v Manchester United Betting Tips
It’s been a lot of positive smiles from Liverpool this season as they have laid down some serious ambitions to get their hands on the Premier League title. They go into the weekend in fourth place, three points ahead of United, so they can open up a huge early gap over their rivals with a home win. Liverpool are tracking along on a four match winning streak at the moment in the top flight and they are joint top scorers in the league with Manchester City with an 18 goal tally. It’s been impressive stuff and half of those 18 goals Liverpool have scored at home in just two games so far. They thumped Leicester and Hull at Anfield in their only two home games, but they did concede in each. Both teams to score in this one will fetch you a price of 8/13 with online betting site Unibet. In the 2016 calendar year, Liverpool have scored more Premier League goals than any other team.
However, their form against Manchester United in the league raises some questions. They have been defeated in their last two at home against the Red Devils and overall are on a four match losing streak against them in the Premier League. Given what Liverpool have produced, there is the likelihood of goals and over 2.5 goals in the game will fetch you a price of 3/4. But, there is a quote of 21/20 on under the goal line and the last four between these at Anfield have gone under the goal line. Liverpool have an abundance of scoring power and in the anytime goalscorer market, Daniel Sturridge is a 7/5 option with Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane all at 7/4. In their nine games played this season across all competitions, Liverpool have rattled off 26 goals.
So they have the firepower to hurt the back line of the Red Devils. Manchester United have only put up the one in in their last four Premier League and in that sequence have shipped seven goals. So there are weaknesses there and with Liverpool being very good in possession and dominating games, United’s defence could come under some severe pressure from the pace that Liverpool carry. They are going to be on the back foot and United boss Jose Mourinho has won just one of this last five meetings with Jurgen Klopp (W1 D1 L3). United rattled off three wins from three to start the season, but then have posted just a W1 D1 L2 record in their last four. Overall this season the Red Devils have claimed just the two clean sheets. You probably would have expected a little more from them.
If you want a comparison, then United were three points better off after seven league games last season under Louis van Gaal than they are this term. After his blistering start for the club, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has failed to score a goal in any of his last three games now and that is actually his worst run in league competition since January last year. The big Swede is a price of 7/5 in the anytime goalscorer market but Marcus Rashford could have more appeal at a price of 2/1. Juan Mata has had a hand in five goals in his last four appearances against Liverpool in the Premier League, scoring three and assisting two and is a price of 9/2 to score. United have gone W2 L1 in their three away games in the top flight this season, their last trip away ending in a shock 3-1 defeat at Watford. Will they be punished by Liverpool?

Liverpool v Manchester United Predictions
This should be heated Monday night affair and only Everton v Liverpool has produced more red cards in the Premier League than this fixture. United just look a little flat at the moment, aside from their big home win over Leicester. Liverpool have just been bombing relentlessly on wherever they are playing and they have the pace and creativity to unlock United who are bound to turn up and play conservatively. Liverpool are a healthy price in the match outright to take the victory.
