Losing the opening round of a new season is not a great start. Losing the second round as well and crisis is already looming. Man Utd won't be short on motivation to finally get their first point up on the board. Liverpool have yet to lose a match this season, but at the same time they are winless as well. Having failed to break the deadlock so far, they will be thirsty for a win in round three.

Man Utd are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net nine times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.9 goals per game, as they conceded 22 goals. They managed one clean sheet in these matches.

Liverpool are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming away match in the Premier League, as they can show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games.

Man Utd vs Liverpool Prediction

Man Utd have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace, before Brighton ran out 1-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Brentford, who came out 4-0 winners. In their last six Premier League home matches, Man Utd have three wins, while they've drawn two and lost one. They scored 12 and conceded eight goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Man Utd a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

In their previous three outings, Liverpool won by 3-1 against Manchester City, drew 2-2 with Fulham, before also drawing 1-1 against Crystal Palace. In their last six Premier League away matches, Liverpool won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn twice and lost none, scoring 11 while also conceding six times.

The big goal of the season for Liverpool is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Premier League season.
