Man Utd v Liverpool

Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

The pick of this weekend's action in the quarter-finals of this season's FA Cup is unarguably this upcoming tussle between old foes Manchester United and Liverpool when they renew old rivalries at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United head into this clash on the back of a solid 2-0 home win against Everton, while Liverpool extended their impressive unbeaten run in all competitions to eight games overall following a 1-1 draw at home against Manchester City.

Last weekend's 2-0 win against Everton became Manchester United's eighth win in 11 games overall in all competitions and therefore gives Erik ten Hag's side reasons to be upbeat about their chances here for Sunday's FA Cup tie with Liverpool, especially as they hold home advantage at Old Trafford.

That said, interestingly, six of United's eight wins within this period of matches have been achieved away from home while only two have been registered on home soil, those being wins against West Ham and Everton while goals have also come along for the ride in no uncertain fashion as no fewer than eight of the Red Devils' last 10 games in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United have reached the last eight of this season's FA Cup thanks to wins over Wigan Athletic, Newport County and Nottingham Forest, all of which have been on their travels.

Liverpool will probably count themselves somewhat unfortunate not to have been awarded a penalty against Manchester City in last weekend's 1-1 draw at Anfield but nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp's side head into this titanic tussle with Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on the back of eight games without defeat.

Having won seven of these last eight games overall, Liverpool will also be brimming with confidence that they are the ones to be put into the hat for the semi-final draw of this season's competition especially as The Reds have picked up important wins on the road at Brentford, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Sparta Prague respectively, while goals have also featured in Liverpool's results in somewhat expected fashion.

Indeed, eight of Liverpool's last 10 games in all competitions have produced three goals or more and there's every reason to expect further goals here in Sunday's clash as both teams will be eager to put this one to bed at the first time of asking.
