Manchester United vs Liverpool. Shape of the Teams

It finally felt like Manchester United had found a good run of games, and precisely then it happened – Erik ten Hag’s team found a way to show it is nowhere near the level it should be. 

Manchester United first threw the victory away against Brentford with a 1-1 draw despite opening the score at 90+6’. The narrative took a similar turn against Chelsea where, in an overly ambitious quest for victory, they transitioned from a potential point to a 3-4 defeat.  

This time, Manchester United will be hosting the league leaders, who are involved in a three-horse title race with Arsenal and Manchester City. Although logic might favour a clear victory for Klopp’s side, Liverpool has its own defensive issues and often plays goal-laden games. 

However, things often look different at Old Trafford. Liverpool knows it cannot allow any mistakes. Even a draw would allow Arsenal to equalize in terms of points, and a defeat would see Pep’s Manchester City back on track.

In theory, Liverpool’s track record speaks for itself. With Mac Allister coming in full form, they have secured victory after victory. But there’s a “but”. This “but” is the FA Cup tie, where Liverpool bowed down to Manchester United in extra time (3-4). 

As betting odds suggest, it is clear that Liverpool will enter the game as the favourite, but the historically chilly ambiance of Old Trafford is a factor that cannot be forgotten.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Main Match Info

Manchester United vs Liverpool, Prediction, Odds

Liverpool’s campaign has been significantly hampered by injuries. Key players like Thiago, Alexander-Arnold,  Bajčetić, Matip, Alisson, and Jota are all out, while Konaté’s minutes need to be carefully managed. 

Klopp’s main problem is that he doesn’t have a like-for-like substitute for Konaté, who was greatly missed in the game against Brighton (2-1). The absence of Alexander-Arnold is also noticeable for the Reds, despite Bradley stepping up adequately. 

Despite all the injuries, Liverpool will be looking to take the three points home. If Manchester United is to create a similar mayhem where there is no defence for 90 minutes, Liverpool should navigate this clash fairly well. 

Mac Allister’s goal contributions in the last games have come in handy, and a repeat performance is expected from the Argentinian midfielder on Sunday at Old Trafford. 

More importantly, unlike Manchester United, Liverpool still boasts Virgil Van Dijk’s expertise. By consistently delaying the challenge, Virgil’s characteristic defending alone will do most of the work when blunting Manchester United’s attacks.

Darwin Núñez’s improvement in ball-striking in past games has emerged as a boon. In Jota’s absence, the Uruguayan striker is expected to deliver a performance marked by precision and effectiveness.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tip

I would be surprised to see the game end up with a clean sheet. If anything, this game promises goals, albeit not as many as the Chelsea vs Manchester Utd clash. Given both teams’ goal-laden nature, constantly running up and down, their defence is often neglected. 

Klopp will sorely miss Alisson, arguably the best goalkeeper in the world, due to injury. But given Liverpool’s aggressive pressing and Manchester United’s lack of press-resistant players, it would be surprising to see Liverpool not score (at least) three goals. 

Unlike the Manchester City vs Arsenal match, where risk aversion was the guideline, this game should see the exact opposite. This more open and engaging battle aligns with both teams’ aggressive inclinations.

Given their form and usual character, Liverpool will want to give Klopp an unforgettable farewell at Old Trafford. 

However, it seems unlikely to see Liverpool maintain a clean sheet, especially with Garnacho in form. The Argentinian winger should easily find the goal – defending against his flair is always tough.
