Liverpool v Manchester UTD Betting Preview
Liverpool are winless in their last three matches and have just four wins in their last 10 league fixtures. Jurgen Klopp's men only managed to draw against West Brom and Newcastle, before falling 1-0 to high-flying Southampton last Monday. Anyway, they have not endured a league defeat at home since April 2017, recording 55 wins and 12 draw in the last 67 home fixtures (with 32 victories in the last 34).
Manchester UTD travel to Anfield as leaders after claiming top spot with a win at Burnley on Tuesday evening. Their away form has been near historic, winning all but one of their eight away from Old Trafford. Anyway, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have not won any of their four meetings with the 'big six' this season and have failed to even score from open play in those games.

Team News & Probable Line-Ups
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Fabinho, Robertson; Milner, Thiago, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Since Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are sidelined, Brazilian midfielders Fabinho and Jordan Henderson are expected to fill in at centre-back for Jurgen Klopp’s team as doubts persist over Joel Matip's availability. Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams have both had stints alongside Fabinho in the heart of defence but neither are blessed with the sort of pace required to keep up with a rapid Manchester United front-line. With DIogo Jota still injured, the likes of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Manè and Mo Salh will lead the line. In midfield, Thiago Alcantara will finally make his home debut for Liverpool on Sunday after making each of his first five appearances for the club on the road.
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani
Victor Lindelof was absent against Burnley on Tuesday evening and will continue to miss out. Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic are also in doubts due to muscle problems. Eric Bailly should start alongside Harry Maguire at centre back while Edinson Cavani should spearhead the attack while Fred and Scott McTominay are the most likely central midfield pairing. Defenders Brandon Williams and Phil Jones are definite absentees.
Our Liverpool v Manchester UTD Predictions
Given Liverpool’s issues in the back, and United’s desire to not lose top spot, it could end in a stalemate. Six of the last 10 meetings between United and Liverpool have been draws, with United winning just one of those meetings. Marcus Rashford will also be hoping to extend a good recent record against Liverpool, having scored three goals in his last four league games against the Reds
