The English Premier League’s most iconic rivalry resumes on Sunday, January 5, as title-chasing Liverpool host struggling Manchester United at Anfield.
Both sides enter this fixture in contrasting form, with Arne Slot’s high-flying Reds scoring 14 goals in their last 3 league games while Ruben Amorim’s side go 3 games without netting.
🔴Liverpool Look Forward to Partying at Home🎊 | Home Win = 1.34💵
Liverpool are in formidable form, sitting six points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand. The Reds extended their unbeaten streak to 23 matches with a 5-0 demolition of West Ham last Sunday.
Key players Mohamed Salah –leading scorer and assist provider in the league, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Luis Díaz are in exceptional form, contributing to Liverpool’s streak of scoring at least two goals in their last 11 league games.
Defensively, they have kept clean sheets in their last five home games against Manchester United, reinforcing Anfield’s status as a fortress.
🔴Manchester United Face Daunting Task😩| Away Win = 9.37💵
Manchester United’s season continues to unravel following a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle, marking their fourth consecutive loss in all competitions.
Scoring woes persist, with the Red Devils failing to find the net in their last three league games. Currently 14th, they sit just seven points above the relegation zone.
While manager Ruben Amorim is fairly new at his post in the United dugout, the bad run of results certainly puts pressure on the Portuguese manager meaning one can expect him to try and pull off a result close to the one he pulled at the Etihad weeks ago.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Mohamed Salah’s goal-scoring prowess will spearhead Liverpool’s attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold’s creativity provides additional threats.
Dominik Szoboszlai returns from suspension to bolster the midfield. Liverpool remain without Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate, and Conor Bradley due to injuries.
For United, Bruno Fernandes’s playmaking and Amad’s pace are their best hopes of breaching Liverpool’s defence. Fernandes and Ugarte return from suspension, but injuries to Luke Shaw and Mason Mount limit their options.
