Manchester United News and Form

This could be one cracking match. When the two met earlier this season, Man Utd had no answer to Liverpool’s strengths at Anfield. Will they have this time back at OT? Manchester United have posted a W8 D1 record in their last nine league games, so they are red hot at the moment without question.

Their home form has seen them win four of their last five at Old Trafford (D1). They remain unbeaten at Old Trafford in the league since their defeat against Tottenham back at the end of August. Overall this season, Manchester United have a W7 D4 L1 home record in the top flight.

The one question mark over them perhaps is their lack of output in the bigger games. Against sides currently sat in the top seven with them, United have played seven games. From that, United have only managed a W1 D3 L3 record. So this is going to be a big test for them because of that record.

But right now they are scoring well with an average of over two goals per home this season. 53% of league games at Old Trafford have ended up over 2.5 goals. Surprisingly they have still only managed one home clean sheet though. United have scored in each of their last 13 top flight games. They have scored at least two in each of their last six on home soil.

Liverpool News and Form

Liverpool are W1 D2 in their last three Premier League fixtures. Since the turn of the new year, they haven’t been as consistent and they are W3 D2 L1 in their last six EPL games. Liverpool have actually dropped more league points in their last six games than they did from the start of the season through to the end of December.

Out on the road recently, Jurgen Klopp’s men have gone W1 D1 L1 which snapped a strong four-match winning streak that they were on away from home. Liverpool have netted themselves 24 away goals this season in the league, while their defence has been superb. They have shipped just eight goals away from Anfield.

The Reds have taken a clean sheet in 46% of their away fixtures. Overall this season Liverpool hold a W9 D3 L1 record in the Premier League. Liverpool have struck at least a goal in all away fixtures in the top flight this season. They have produced just one goal exactly in each of their last three away games.

In their last away game, they were under pressure and ended up being frustrated in a 1-1 draw at West Ham. Liverpool have netted two-thirds of their away goals after the half time break in games. They have opened the scoring in 10 of 13 road games. Sadio Mane is on a four-match scoring streak in the league for them.

Manchester United v Liverpool Predictions

Manchester United to win: there is enough in the current home form and overall form, in fact, to warrant backing Manchester United. They are underdogs so are at a good price. There is not going to be too much between the two sides but United look to just have the attacking edge between them at the moment. Home win.
