We give you our match preview, probable line-ups, and betting tip for this match
MANCHESTER UNITED
It was a sense of de javu for Manchester United fans as the team went down 1-2 to Brighton in their second league match of the season, sparking worries that there has been little improvement since last season. Even the 1-0 win over Fulham in their first game was not convincing, as they needed a late lucky goal from substitute and new signing Joshua Zirkzee to take the 3 points. Coach Erik Ten Hag’s decision to play Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes in the striker positions has not worked out.
United’s defense is a bit stable this season so far, but were still caught napping as Joao Pedro was left alone at the back post to head in from close range in injury time, yet there were 6 United players in the box! Ten Hag has promised to address the defensive lapse, but his fielding and substitutions have been wanting. This next match could be a real indicator of how United are going to fair this season, and Ten Hag has a lot of work to do if he is to get any points in this game.

LIVERPOOL
Things seem to have started well at Liverpool under new coach Arne Slot, with two back-to-back 2-0 wins over Ipswich and Brentford putting them at 4th on the table this early in the season. Mohamed Salah seems to be in top form as usual as he already scored 2 goals and got 1 assist from the 2 games. The defense has also been formidable as they are yet to concede since the new league season started.
Liverpool recently beat Manchester United 3-0 in a pre-season friendly, but will be keenly aware that the last time they beat United in a competitive game was back in March 2023. The two league encounters last season ended in draws, 0-0 and 2-2, while United knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup last season 4-3 into extra time. Nevertheless, Liverpool are still favorites for this match based on recent form.

OUR MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL PREDICTION
Manchester United have scored in 4 of their last 5 games, a total of 6 goals. Liverpool are even better with 11 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 games. 2 of the last 3 head-to-head matches also had both teams scoring. There is a high possibility of both teams on the scoresheet in this upcoming match.
TIP 1: Both Teams To Score @ 1.44 odds
All the last 3 competitive head-to-head matches ended in a stalemate. Going into this match, Liverpool are stronger on paper, but United will enjoy some home advantage that may help them secure a point, especially following the pressure of losing their last game. We feel this game will most likely end in a draw.
