Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Tips & Predictions

Manchester United put in a truly dismal display at Anfield last week. They were terrible at the back as Michael Carrick failed to adapt to the central defensive role and their attacking presence was almost non existent. They fully deserved to be beaten in the first leg and now face a very difficult task at Old Trafford.

They didn’t cover themselves in glory in their FA Cup fixture on Sunday either, eventually needing a late goal from Anthony Martial to take West Ham to a replay back at Upton Park. Their performance didn’t really warrant a second bite at the cherry though.

Liverpool have had the weekend off to prepare for this fixture due to the FA Cup fixtures, so they will come into this game fully prepared and rested, whereas their opponents have had to focus on their FA Cup fixture.

It’s not beyond the realms of possibility for Manchester United to overturn this deficit though. They have won four of their last five matches at Old Trafford and Liverpool have only managed two wins in their last five away days.

This, plus the need for them to come out of the traps fast and get a comprehensive win, could lead to a much improved performance from the Red Devils. They managed to overturn the deficit against Midtjylland with a very good home performance, and although a match against Liverpool will be a more difficult problem to solve the potential is definitely there.

I think we’ll see a much better Manchester United side on Thursday, and I’m liking the look of a Manchester United 0.0 Asian Handicap Win at 1.850 with bet365! I’m going to back Liverpool to qualify though with a 2-1 correct score prediction at 9/1.
