Liverpool vs Man Utd – Betting Odds & Predictions – Premier League 24/25

Playing Liverpool at Anfield must be the match that every Man United fan is dreading in this poor run of form in which they find themselves in.

After a promising start to his Man Utd managerial career, Ruben Amorim must be wondering what he has let himself in for. The performances have been terrible, players looking clueless as to the system they should be playing and it would be fair to say that the team looks no better than it did under Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville summed it up perfectly when commentating on United’s game against Newcastle: “£ for £, this is the worst team in the Premiership.”

Sobering thoughts for every Man Utd fan.

As for Liverpool, they are looking better than ever, a 5 – 0 thrashing of West Ham at the London Stadium was as impressive as it sounds. There doesn’t seem to be a weak link in this Liverpool side and they must be relishing the opportunity to put the pressure on Man Utd.

The very fact that the five goals against West Ham were scored by five different players shows that this is a team that can score from any position. Thus, the frail Man Utd defence must be wondering what’s in store for them.

The last five H2H meetings between the two teams have seen Liverpool win two matches, Man Utd winning one and two matches ended in a draw.

Expected Line Ups

Every player in Liverpool’s line up continues to impress. Mac Allister, in particular, epitomises the spirit of this Liverpool side with his grit and determination. Van Dijk always plays like his life depends on it and Salah, like a fine wine, continues to improve with age.

The exact opposite is true of the Man Utd side top class players, but none of them seem to be able to play with confidence at the moment.

For us, this was summed up when the young Dutch player Joshua Zirkzee was subbed off after 30 minutes against Newcastle last Monday, this is a top player who United signed for over £36 million in the summer and he was jeered as he walked off the pitch. What a terrible experience for the young player.

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Quansah, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Diaz, Szoboszlai, Salah; Nunez.

Manchester United (4-3-3): Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo; Mazraoui, Fernandes, Diallo; Hojlund.

How Will the Season Pan Out

Liverpool has got to be the favourites for the Premier League title. A table with Nottingham Forest in second place proves that so many teams are struggling to put a win together.

The title is Liverpool’s to lose and if they continue to play as they have been in recent matches, we can’t see them throwing this away.

Unbelievably, Man Utd find themselves 14th in the table, only 7 points clear of relegation, so they have gone from having an eye on a place in Europe when Ruben Amorim first took over to now finding themselves in a relegation battle!

We don’t think Man Utd will be relegated, but for most of their fans, a mid-table finish will be a failure, simple as that.
