Player Focus
Mainoo, Casemiro, and McTominay will be called upon to be brave, go toe-to-toe with the Liverpool midfield, and ensure that they are not overrun in the middle of the pack. Football prediction analysis shows that the midfield area will be essential for both sides, underscoring why the three Manchester United Players will be the tactical focus.
Mohamed Salah is Liverpool’s main man. The Egyptian is shaping up to be decisive in the run-in and the title race. His finishing, pace, movement, and experience make him the football pick to influence this patch on Sunday.
Tactical Analysis
Manchester United will adopt their traditional 4-2-3-1 formation. However, they will look to be compact in their approach, focusing on steadying their defensive unit and making it difficult for Liverpool to play through them.
Expert soccer predictions show that Jurgen Klopp will retain the winning approach, with the traditional 4-3-3 giving Liverpool the platform to dominate the midfield, press from the front, and create chances.
Manchester United vs. Liverpool Expert Analysis
Manchester United, in their 4-3 defeat away to Chelsea and 1-1 draw at Brentford have shown a vulnerability through their spine. Football predictions show that Ten Hag’s charges lack solidity and compactness in their defensive phase.
However, they have enough fire power to threaten any side, which explains why both sides are likely to score in this match.
Liverpool have firepower in the final third and a robust defense marshaled by the excellent Van Dijk.
Football bet predictions show that Liverpool might be at risk for the odd lapse in defense, their attack is more than capable of bailing them out, as they did against Sheffield United in midweek.

On current form, Liverpool are the heavy favorites to take three points from Old Trafford as they press on in a three-team title race. However, after two matches without a win, Manchester United will be looking to fight their way to form, especially against their rivals.
Liverpool will have a slight edge against a Manchester United side without confidence. The Reds will win and bolster their chances of keeping the lead in the league and clinching the title ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City.
