Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

Manchester United

The pressure will once again be on Erik ten Hag this weekend, as he chases a response from his Man United side when they come up against Liverpool. 

United come into this clash against their fiercest rivals following a late defeat on the road against Brighton on Saturday. However, it could be argued that luck wasn’t on the side of United that day, as they had a winning goal disallowed due to a marginal offside before João Pedro’s winner in second-half injury time. 

The Red Devils dominated the ball at the Amex, but the defeat was the sixth game they have lost in second-half stoppage time since ten Hag was appointed as United’s boss – a worrying trend ahead of making a Man United vs Liverpool prediction.

Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) L-W-D-L-W
Key Players to Watch Bruno Fernandes, Joshua Zirkzee
Team Strengths Excellent wide players and have looked strong when pressing this season
Team Weaknesses Poor at defending set pieces, and often wasteful in the final third
Injuries and Suspensions Mason Mount (Unknown) Luke Shaw (Calf) Victor Lindelof (Muscle) Leny Yoro (Leg) Rasmus Hojlund (Hamstring) Tyrell Malacia (Knee)

Liverpool

The visiting side will once again be overwhelming favourites against their rivals this weekend. It has been a seamless transition to life in the Premier League for Arne Slot, as the Reds have recorded back-to-back victories in their opening two matches this term without conceding. 

Mohamed Salah has looked rejuvenated already this term after netting twice in as many matches. Liverpool come into this showdown at Old Trafford after a professional 2-0 home success against Brentford last Sunday. 

Their new style of play is slightly more cautious than it was under Jürgen Klopp, but to this point, it has gained positive feedback from fans and players. 

Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) W-W-D-W-W
Key Players to Watch Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold
Team Strengths World-class attacking talent
Team Weaknesses Questions remain surrounding their midfield options
Injuries and Suspensions Curtis Jones (Knock)

Manchester United vs Liverpool Head-to-Head Statistics

It could be worth remembering that the home side are unbeaten in their last three matches against their rivals before making a Man United vs Liverpool prediction.

The Red Devils landed a dramatic 4-3 FA Cup success against the Reds last term, before playing out a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in April. However, Liverpool have won on two of their last four league visits to the Theatre of Dreams. 

Manchester United vs Liverpool Player Focus

Joshua Zirkzee could be handed a first United start this weekend as the Red Devils look to play with a focal point for the first time this term.

Zirkzee netted on his first appearance at Old Trafford against Fulham and was lively when building attacks in United’s defeat against Brighton last weekend. However, he will need to be at his very best to compete against the Liverpool backline this weekend. 

Manchester United vs Liverpool Tactical Analysis

Slot’s Liverpool are more possession-based than the previous regime, meaning that the Reds will look to dominate the ball and create chances for Salah and Diogo Jota by playing through the midfield. 

United look set to add to their options in that area of the field following the signing of Manuel Ugarte, but ten Hag is likely to start with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo this weekend. The battle in the middle of the park looks set to shape the outcome at Old Trafford this weekend. 

Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction

  • Football pick: Draw
  • Odds: 4.06 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Man United 2-2 Liverpool

The last two meetings between these sides have seen eleven goals scored at Old Trafford, and another open affair looks set for this early-season showdown on Sunday. 

United and Liverpool have played out draws in the last two league fixtures, while four of the last seven at Old Trafford have ended level.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tip

  • Football Pick: Mohamed Salah To Score
  • Odds: 2.2 (22Bet)

Mohamed Salah has already started the season in excellent form this term after netting in wins against Ipswich and Brentford. 

The Egyptian has scored more goals against United than against any other opponent, scoring 14 in 15 appearances against the Red Devils.
