Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction

Liverpool Form

In their last three matches, Liverpool beat Sheffield United by 0-2 and Crystal Palace by 1-2, before losing against Union St.Gilloise by 2-1. Liverpool bulldozed their way through the previous six Premier League outing at Anfield. They won all six, adding 18 points to their account, whilst scoring 18 and conceding four.

Manchester United Form

Manchester United have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 2-1 win against Chelsea. Unable to follow that up, they went down 0-3 against Bournemouth, before handing over all three points in a 0-1 defeat against Bayern Munich. Manchester United performed a very admirable four wins in six Premier League away matches, drawing none but losing twice as well. They scored eight times, while also conceding five goals.

With Liverpool in relatively good shape these days, we aim for the home win, when they take on Manchester United. The value lies with the former, with form a little too dubious for the visitors.

Liverpool are looking at a record of 11 wins, four draws and one defeat in the Premier League this season. Manchester United are looking at nine wins, zero draws and seven defeats in the Premier League.
