One of English football’s greatest rivalries is rekindled on Sunday afternoon when Manchester welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford.
A win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would certainly relieve some of the pressure on the Red Devils manager but bet365 offer a hefty 15/4 (4.75) that his side make it seven home games in a row without defeat to the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp’s side, though, are just 4/6 (1.67) after winning their opening eight games of the season and opening up an eight-point gap on Manchester City at the top of the table.
Using bet365’s Bet Builder feature, which allows users to combine multiple selections from the same game into one bet, our tipster has devised a 13/2 (7.50) bet for the huge clash at Old Trafford.
Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting
The four selections that make up this 13/2 (7.50) bet are: Liverpool to win, Over 1.5 Liverpool goals, Over 2.5 Man United cards, and Over 10.5 match corners.
This match could not come at a more perfect time for Liverpool, who have won 17 consecutive Premier League games and will see this fixture as a prime opportunity to rack up another three points.
United have won just two of their last eight games this season and have a host of sidelined players for Sunday, including David de Gea and Paul Pogba, so they will have their work cut out to avoid defeat.
The absence of De Gea means that United’s already shaky defence will be even more vulnerable, with Solskjaer’s side managing just two clean sheets this season so far.
A full-strength Liverpool side should be able to exploit it by scoring more than once, as they have done in seven of their eight Premier League fixtures this campaign.
Yellow cards are a feature of any derby game and this one is sure to be no different, with only Arsenal picking up more cautions this season than United’s 19.
Finally, this fixture has seen more than 10 corners in three of the last five meetings between the sides. Liverpool’s games this term have averaged a total of 10.83 corners whilst United are not far behind at 9.88.
Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
