Manchester United Vs Liverpool Prediction: Betting Tips & Odds

With two of the Premier League's biggest rivals facing off on Sunday, here are our best Manchester United vs Liverpool betting tips and predictions ahead of a huge contest at Old Trafford.

Michael Carrick's Man United host Arne Slot's Liverpool this weekend in a hugely important fixture.

Not that either side needed any more motivation for facing each other, but the possibility of securing Champions League football will be an added incentive.

Third-placed United will guarantee a top-five finish if they beat Liverpool. A win for Liverpool could do the same if results go their way.

When these two met earlier this season, it finished 2-1 to United at Anfield. Bryan Mbeumo's early opener for United was cancelled out by a Cody Gakpo equaliser.

But with the minutes ticking down, Harry Maguire headed in a late winner just six minutes from time.

That result was United's first win at Anfield since 2016, ending a run of 10 trips to Liverpool without a victory.

As for Sunday, it promises to be a hard-fought and even match, with both sides fighting to secure a place in Europe's premier club competition next season.

Manchester United Vs Liverpool Prediction

Looking ahead to this one, Manchester United are slight favourites with most UK betting sites. The Red Devils are priced at around 2.20, while Liverpool are 2.90 underdogs.

There's little to choose between these two on paper, with the history books and form guide suggesting a close battle.

Both teams have a record of three wins, two losses and one draw from their last six league games.

Given neither side has been consistent, and Liverpool have not lost in their last two trips to Old Trafford, we believe a draw is the most likely outcome.

That result wouldn't suit either side, but will inch them both a fraction closer to Champions League football.

We are hoping for an entertaining match, and can see a high-scoring affair with both teams exchanging goals.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool

Manchester United Vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Below, we have picked out three of our top Manchester United vs Liverpool tips ahead of Sunday's massive Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

Both Teams To Score In Both Halves - 6.33

First up, we feel that backing both teams to score in both halves is a good option.

Neither side has been great defensively, with both United and Liverpool keeping just one clean sheet in their last seven in all competitions.

On top of this, United have scored in their last 23 matches in a row. Carrick's side have not been kept scoreless since losing 1-0 to Everton in November.

As a result, expect to see plenty of attacking intent and both sides pushing for goals from the start.

Bruno Fernandes First Goalscorer - 7.50

Our pick for first goalscorer is United captain Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese playmaker has been in dazzling form once again this season, with eight goals and an incredible 20 assists.

He is arguably United's best player, and with odds of 7.50, we feel that's a great potential return if he does grab the first goal on Sunday.

Dominik Szoboszlai To Receive A Card - 4.75

Finally, we expect Dominik Szoboszlai to pick up a booking on Sunday.

The Hungarian midfielder tops Liverpool's yellow card chart, with 10 so far this season.

Szoboszlai was sent off controversially for his last-ditch foul on Erling Haaland in February, which was deemed to deny a clear goalscoring opportunity.

There is never any love lost between Liverpool and Man United, so there should be cards on show for both sets of players.

If anyone is likely to get one, the Liverpool midfielder will be top of the list.
