Liverpool v Man Utd

Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview

Liverpool will be going in search of a fourth league win on the trot on Sunday afternoon when they play host to old rivals, Manchester United, following The Reds' 2-1 win away from home at Crystal Palace while under-siege Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will be desperate for his side to produce a positive response after being handed a humiliating 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth last weekend.

Liverpool have also collected wins against Fulham and Sheffield United in recent times in the Premier League and along with having now put together a solid looking unbeaten run of nine games without a loss, the merseyside hosts look in good shape to not only add to their points tally here this Sunday but maybe also extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a win here.

Indeed, Liverpool have been dealt just the one defeat so far this season which was by way of a disappointing 2-1 loss away from home at Tottenham but this has been Liverpool's only defeat in the English top flight for some time as Jurgen Klopp's side have lost just once in their last 27 matches overall, picking up 18 wins in the process.

Liverpool are also unbeaten in their last 19 home games which includes that emphatic 7-0 thrashing of the Red Devils in March of last year.

Manchester United suffered a second defeat in three games last weekend when Bournemouth inflicted a comprehensive and embarrassing 3-0 victory over Erik ten Hag's side at Old Trafford and although United had previously registered a bounce-back 2-1 home win against Chelsea following an earlier loss to Newcastle United, the visitors will face a much tougher task of bouncing back with a result at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The visitors currently sit in sixth place and just three points behind Tottenham and the top five pack but results overall this season have by no means guaranteed success for United or their fans as the Red Devils have won nine but lost seven of their total of 16 league matches so far in this season's campaign.

United's inconsistent streak also extends to results away from home as well this season as the visitors have picked up four wins but have also fallen to three defeats as well, thus making it almost impossible to predict which Manchester United side will take to the filed from one game to the next.

Liverpool v Manchester United Verdict

In what is usually expected to be a tightly fought contest between two of the old stalwarts of the Premier League, recent results have been surprisingly one-sided in the previous five meetings as Liverpool have won three, Manchester United two; however, four of the last five meetings have only produced goals for just one team and this trend could continue on Sunday.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 2.25
