Liverpool – Quadruple pursuit gathering pace?
With an FA Cup final to look forward to, Jurgen Klopp and his rampant Liverpool side must quickly turn their attentions back to matters in the league. The Reds were too hot for Man City over the weekend. Prevailing 3-2 in their FA Cup semi-final showdown, a week on from the pulsating draw at the Etihad which kept Pep Guardiola’s men a point clear at the top. It goes without saying but three points are imperative on Tuesday.
In the league, Liverpool are yet to taste defeat in 2022 (W10 D2). Reeling off ten consecutive wins prior to last week’s outing in Manchester. Meanwhile, the goals they conceded to Man City were as many as Klopp’s side had conceded in ten previous league games, suggesting a team on song in all facets of their game. Moreover, they’re also the only Premier League team still unbeaten on home soil in 2021-22 (W12 D3).
Key Stat: Prior to their recent 2-2 draw away to Man City, Liverpool had recorded five consecutive wins to nil in the league. Here at Anfield meanwhile, the Reds have only conceded to two teams (Newcastle and Norwich) in their last ten home league games.
Manchester United – Top four aspirations reignited?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s 60th career hat-trick, and second in three Premier League games, spared the blushes of his Manchester United team mates against bottom side Norwich on Sunday. The fact they did struggle against such modest opposition, though, conceding twice to a side which had scored just eight in 15 away league games beforehand, has to be cause for serious concern ahead of this trip to Anfield.
United were ruthlessly exposed when these sides last met, an humiliating 5-0 defeat at Old Trafford. Supporters will be fearing the worse, then, after seeing the ease with which the worst team in the league got at them defensively on Sunday. They now face arguably the best in the country, on the back of some erratic form (W2 D2 L2) and successive away defeats, both in the north west (1-0 vs Everton, 4-1 vs Man City).
Key Stat: Manchester United haven’t registered a clean sheet away from home in the Premier League for seven matches, but had scored in all 15 such fixtures this season prior to losing 1-0 at Everton in their latest away encounter.

Liverpool Vs Manchester United Betting Advice
After years of turgid match-ups between these two old rivals, finally this fixture has come to life with each of the last three producing a minimum of five goals. Liverpool won the last two of those, including that unforgettable 5-0 scoreline at Old Trafford earlier this season, and are firm favourites to win three consecutive matches against Manchester United for the first time since 2009.
Liverpool Vs Manchester United – Key Facts:
- After four consecutive head-to-head meetings had gone Under 2.5 Goals, the last three all went Over 4.5. The momentum, then, is with another high-scoring renewal.
- Liverpool have won the last two league meetings between the sides, romping to a 5-0 victory at Old Trafford in October. However, they did win only two of the last five as hosts (D3).
- Anfield has witnessed a clean sheet for the home side in eight of the past ten league games. However, Man Utd would only fail to find the net in one of 15 Premier League away matches this term.
Bearing in mind both teams are in need of the points, we can safely anticipate this will be another entertainingly open contest. It is seven away league games without a clean sheet for Man Utd, who have only failed to score once on the road all season. Liverpool are impregnable of late, however, it is worth noting they did concede twice to Chelsea, Man City (twice in the league and another in Saturday’s FA Cup triumph) Tottenham and West Ham. So the home side can be got at defensively too.
