Liverpool vs Man United Tips

- Mohamed Salah to Score & Bruno Fernandes to Be Carded: 9/2 @ Ladbrokes
Tip 1
Although the old adage says that form goes out of the window in a derby match, Manchester United’s stinking record both this season and under new boss Ruben Amorim is too significant to discard.
United have not won at Anfield since 2016 and this ropey head-to-head record extends beyond Merseyside, with Sunday’s visitors losing five of the last nine meetings, which includes 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and 7-0 defeats.
Recent games against Fulham and Leicester at Anfield have seen four or more goals, as have five of their last seven outings, which spells disaster for United who face the league’s top scorers this weekend.
Tip 2
While not the largest price for a player prop double, this pair’s history in Liverpool vs Man United games goes a long way to providing a convincing argument to back this 9/2 shot.
Mohamed Salah needs no introduction this season or beyond, posting 12 goals in 14 appearances against this opponent and 17 league goals this term, netting at least once in 10 of his last 11 league outings.
For Bruno Fernandes, he’s seen red three times this campaign to add to his four yellows. The United captain will be thrust straight back into the fold here, and seeing how he’s received a booking in four of his last seven meetings with Liverpool, he’s a worthy name on any bet builders for this game.
Liverpool Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Reds’ strong form continued over the festive period with a 3-1 win over Leicester on Boxing Day before blowing through West Ham by recording a 5-0 victory at the London Stadium before the new year.
Defenders Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate are unavailable for the home side.
Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Diaz.
Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
On the other hand, the Red Devils’ misery doesn’t look like letting up any time soon, with Newcastle handing them their fourth straight defeat since beating rivals Manchester City in mid December.
Luke Shaw and Mason Mount both remain absent for the hosts. Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes, however, return from suspension for this one.
Man United Predicted XI: Onana; de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund.
