Premier League, played Sunday, January 5th, 2025
Here is our Liverpool v Man Utd tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Liverpool home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Liverpool will be looking to not only inflict further damage upon their old rivals Manchester United but also extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table as The Reds go in search of a fourth win on the trot in the English top flight following their recent resounding 5-0 thrashing of West Ham away from home at the London Stadium.
Manchester United slumped to a third defeat on the trot in the Premier League last time out as the Red Devils suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Newcastle United, leaving the visitors in 14th place in the table and just seven points above the relegation zone.
Liverpool currently possess a six-point cushion over second placed Arsenal ahead of this weekend's action in the domestic top flight and having won their last three games on the trot along with scoring a total of 14 goals in the process, the merseyside hosts look in great shape to add to their points tally on Sunday afternoon.
The Reds bring an impressive looking 14-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter which includes collecting no fewer than 11 wins in the process, while form on home soil at Anfield has also been impressive, suffering just one loss in their nine home games along with only one team scoring in five of these games as well.
Manchester United could be forgiven for fearing the worst as they make their up to merseyside and Anfield to take on a free-scoring Liverpool side who have run riot in recent weeks.
United suffered a third loss last time out which now makes it defeats at the hands of Bournemouth, Wolves and Newcastle United respectively and to make matters worse, Manchester United have also failed to score in each of these last three league games as well.
Dubbed by many as the worst Manchester United XI in the last 50 years, the visitors have now managed to register just four wins from their last 15 matches overall in the Premier League as well as being handed five defeats within their last six games.
Previous losses at the hands of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have also contributed to the Red Devils plunging down the Premier League table to an unprecedented 14th place in the domestic top flight standings and their situation looks set to worsen as they take on a rampant Liverpool side on Sunday.
Having recorded just one win from their last seven outings on the road, Ruben Amorim's side look totally bereft of answers to their worsening predicament.
Liverpool v Manchester United Verdict
Liverpool have won the last two encounters on the trot against Manchester United, both being comprehensive 3-0 victories away at Old Trafford - imagine what Liverpool could do at Anfield…
