Liverpool vs Man United Betting Tips and Predictions: Liverpool

Liverpool are on an incredible run of form, winning all five of their last five matches, winning 12/15, drawing two and losing one (that League Cup match against Aston Villa). Liverpool haven’t lost a home league match since a 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace in April 2017.

The Reds though have only beaten Manchester United in 1/5 previous league meetings at Anfield, United have won two, so if anyone can upset the applecart here it’s Man United.. Man United Double Chance is currently around 3.20. That price is tempting, but it’s very hard to look past Liverpool’s record, they’re marching towards their first league title since 1989-90. They’ve shown this season they can grind out matches when needs be and don’t be surprised if they try and get an early goal here and defend it and try to pick off United via counter attacks as time ticks down.

Liverpool vs Man United Betting Tips and Predictions: Man United

United’s form is good and then bad and then good again. In their last two matches they’ve beaten Norwich 4-0 and Wolves 1-0, prior to that though they’d lost to Man City and Arsenal and drew away with Wolves.

Away from Old Trafford their form is also a bit all over the place, they’ve won two, drawn one and lost two, beating Man City and Burnley, but losing to Watford and Arsenal. It must be a very strange season to be a Man United fan. Against Wolves the other night they were very lethargic and slow to the ball, they’re going to have to be much faster to react against this Liverpool team if they have any hopes of getting anything at Anfield.
