One of the best rivalries in the Premier League is back on Sunday when Liverpool take on Man United at home. Liverpool have revived their chances to get to the top with a couple of wins, while also Manchester United are competing for the Premier League title. The last match at Anfield between them ended in a 4-0 Liverpool win.
Liverpool are having a bad season, and it doesn’t look like they are winning any trophies this year. They have lost 5-2 in the first leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid, and they will need a miracle to overcome the Whites in the second leg. The Reds are still in the top-four race, though, as they are only six points behind the Spurs with a game in hand. Liverpool got knocked out of the FA Cup by losing 2-1 to Brighton.
Manchester United are in incredible form right now; they are on an 11-game unbeaten streak. The Red Devils have already won a trophy this season in the EFL Cup, and they are competing for three more titles. Manchester United have beaten Barcelona to go to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, and they will be facing Real Betis next.

The Reds are coming off a 2-0 win over the Wolves at home with late goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool’s season pretty much comes down to finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League. Liverpool playing at home would be your best reason to bet on Liverpool in this game, but they can’t really be trusted now, maybe later in the season.
Manchester United are coming off a 3-1 win over West Ham in the FA Cup, and they have rested the starters in that game to be ready for Liverpool. The Red Devils will face Fulham in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup next month. Manchester United are pretty much still in the Premier League title race, but it won’t be easy to overcome both Manchester City and Arsenal.

There’s nice value on Man United odds in this game, if they are going to beat Liverpool at Anfield, it will be now. The Red Devils are in their best form in years, and they are still competing for the title.
Manchester United have won the first meeting between the two teams this season, and they shouldn’t drop points here to keep up with the title race. Man United are on an 11-game unbeaten streak.
Liverpool will try to control the pace of the match and avoid having an open game with Manchester United. Liverpool have gone under the total in nine of their last ten matches. Five of the last seven games between Liverpool and Manchester United have gone under the total as well.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was the only player from Liverpool to get a yellow card in their last match against Manchester United. Trent usually struggles to defend skilled players, and he will be playing against Rashford, who is in great form. Picking Rashford to score is not a bad call, either, although making it against Van Dijk and Co. is a tough task too.
None of Liverpool’s long-injured players will be back for this game. Gomez, Thiago, and Diaz are all out for the Reds.
Luke Shaw is back for the Red Devils and is ready for this game, which is a good push for them. Martial, Eriksen, and Van de Beek are all still out.
