05/01 Today’s Football Predictions: Liverpool vs Manchester United + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

In Sunday’s Premier League big event at Anfield, where championship favorites Liverpool host a weak Manchester United at their Merseyside home, Northern rivals square off.

While Ruben Amorim’s team anxiously watches from behind, Arne Slot’s juggernaut maintains a massive 23-point lead over their longstanding opponents in the top-flight league as the Reds continue their quest for fame.

Head-to-Head

As Liverpool celebrates winning four straight games, its weak opponents are ironically reflecting on their fourth straight loss after being completely outplayed and outwitted by a motivated Newcastle United on their own field on December 30.

In fact, Liverpool has only defeated Manchester United once in their last four meetings, and despite having an incredible 34 shots, they were only able to draw this match 0-0 last season. However, the Reds’ victory came in September at Old Trafford, where Salah delivered one of his signature Mancunian masterclasses.

Team News

Joe Gomez’s hamstring injury, which will keep him out for a few weeks, somewhat soured Liverpool’s thrashing of West Ham. However, in his pregame press conference, Slot stated that Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley will resume full training on Friday.

But after spending more than a month in the hospital, the pair will only be able to practice for a maximum of two days, so unless Konate can quickly demonstrate his fitness, Slot should team Virgil van Dijk with Jarell Quansah on Sunday.

After serving a one-game ban at the London Stadium, the Reds can also bring back Dominik Szoboszlai. Still, Curtis Jones won’t be giving up his spot easily after assisting Salah on December 29 with his 17th goal of the Premier League season.

Speaking of midfielders coming back from suspensions, Amorim should immediately get Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte of Manchester United back into the starting lineup after they watched helplessly against Newcastle.

The same can be said of Kobbie Mainoo, a rare bright spark in the Man United lineup after replacing the inconsolable Zirkzee, who will likely cede his place alongside senior midfielders Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.

Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund

Verdict

Tip Liverpool to Win❌

Reason

Man United is in danger of being totally overrun at Anfield due to their disorganized attack, exposed defense, and severe difficulty adjusting to the demands of an Amorim system; however, anticipated recalls for Ugarte, Mainoo, and Fernandes should ensure that their performance is not as appalling as it was against Newcastle.

Though we might imagine Liverpool replicating their 3-0 Old Trafford trick, which would increase their title ambitions at the expense of their opponents’ Premier League position totally, the Red Devils fan base will undoubtedly travel with fleeting hope rather than expectation.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goalsâś…

Reason

While the Red Devils have shown an ability to raise their game this season, it would take a seriously impressive performance to halt the Liverpool juggernaut this weekend. Both recent form and past meetings suggest things could get ugly if the Reds get off to quick start on Sunday.

In the end, a comfortable home win seems inevitable. I expect Liverpool to score at least three goals in what should prove another tough day at the office for the visiting Red Devils.
