Manchester United vs Liverpool. Shape of the Teams

On March 17, we will see one of the most exciting matchups in the FA Cup when Man United takes on Liverpool.

Liverpool delivered a dominant performance against Sparta Prague, winning 6-1. Prior to this, they secured a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in a match marred by controversy over a potential penalty for Liverpool not awarded by the VAR following Jeremy Doku’s heavy challenge on Alexis Mac Allister.

Manchester United, on the other hand, beat Everton at home last weekend by 2-0, while they suffered a 1-3 loss against Manchester City the week before that. The Red Devils’ Premier League title aspirations have faded, but Champions League qualification remains within reach.

Liverpool remain in a hot race with City and Arsenal for the Premier League top spot, with just one point separating the three teams. In their FA Cup journey, United beat Wigan, Newport County and Nottingham Forest, while Liverpool managed to eliminate Arsenal, Norwich City and Southampton.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction, Odds

Pick: Manchester or draw
Odds: -109 (Tonybet)

This season, Manchester United and Liverpool find themselves with diverging paths. The FA Cup represents the last shot at silverware for the Red Devils, whereas Liverpool is hunting for a trio of titles.

However, with Jürgen Klopp announcing his departure at the end of the season, the Premier League has emerged as the Reds’ crown jewel, potentially influencing their approach to this clash on Sunday.

Even though Liverpool defeated Sparta Prague in the first leg, Jurgen Klopp chose to deploy nearly his entire first-team roster for the return fixture. With so many injuries, it seemed logical that the Reds coach would prioritize resting his key players. But it seems Klopp is undeterred by the prospect of fatigue, so at Old Trafford, we are likely to see almost a full-strength Liverpool squad

Since Manchester United players spend much less time in matches in the second half of the season than the Liverpool players, the hosts are likely to bring a fresher squad to the fray and should be able to press powerfully and effectively.

If Ten Hag’s team can score a quick goal, launching their trademark rapid-fire flank assaults will be much easier.

On the other hand, Liverpool’s form has been much more stable than Manchester United’s at this stage of the season, so the visitors could cause big problems for their opponents.

Manchester United are playing at home for the first time in their FA Cup campaign and are more driven than the opponents to reach the semi-finals. Erik ten Hag has noticeably fewer problems than Jürgen Klopp. In addition, Manchester spent the whole week preparing for the cup clash, while Liverpool had to play in the Europa League.

It is a crucial match, and I assume that the Red Devils will hold their ground, at least in regular time. We can remember the previous encounter at Anfield, which ended in a 0-0 draw, and the FA Cup is the only way for Manchester to save their season.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tip

Pick: Over 10.5 corners
Odds: -150 (Tonybet)

When it comes to Premier League teams, an abundance of corners is almost a given. Liverpool boast an impressive average of 11.29 corners per game in the Premier League, while the Reds notch up even more at 13.29 corners.

Liverpool’s energetic flanks allow them to create a lot of chances from the wings thanks to Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz, which frequently result in corners. Moreover, their full-backs are no strangers to joining the attacking fray, adding to the pressure and corner count. This pressure only heightens when the Reds are trailing or are in a must-win situation.

Manchester United’s offense also stands out. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Højlund are some of the fastest players in the Premier League and are equally capable of tearing defences apart. I think we will see an open game with lots of opportunities and a high corner count for both sides.
