Liverpool vs Manchester United Predictions

• United have lost to nil in their last three matches
• The Reds have won to nil on eight occasions this term, including a 3-0 win at Old Trafford
• Only four Premier League sides have scored fewer goals than United this term
• Mo Salah has scored 15 goals in 16 career meetings with Man United

Mismatch at Anfield

While it’s still hard to say Manchester United are truly in a relegation battle, it’s difficult to ignore the fact that the Red Devils head to Anfield priced up like a side fighting the drop.

The Red Devils are huge outsiders against the Premier League leaders and it’s little surprise. The visitors have been comprehensively beaten in four games on the bounce, while Liverpool finished 2024 on a four-game winning streak after thumping West Ham 5-0.

Struggling visitors to put up little resistance

Manchester United have lost to nil in each of their last three matches, failing to score in defeats to Bournemouth, Wolves and Newcastle. They’ve conceded 11 times across their four-game losing streak and Ruben Amorim’s side went into the weekend as the fifth-lowest scorers in the Premier League.

The visitors average less than a goal per game on their travels and they head to a Liverpool side who boast the league’s best defensive record. The hosts have won to nil on eight occasions already and they should expect to keep this United side quiet.

Liverpool ran out 3-0 winners at Old Trafford earlier this term and the gulf between them has grown since. Back the Reds to record another win to nil, with a 4-0 home win the standout correct score option.

Salah to trouble United again

Mo Salah began the year by reiterating that he’s set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer this summer, but that shouldn’t impact him going into this clash. The Egyptian finished 2024 in scintillating form, scoring or assisting in seven consecutive games. He racked up an amazing 15 goal involvements in that stretch, while he has 17 goals in 18 league appearances this season.

Salah has a brilliant record against Manchester United, with his strike at Old Trafford this term his 15th in 16 clashes with the Red Devils. He’s scored in nine of the previous 10 meetings between the pair and he can add to that by exploiting a defence which has been far too easy to breeze through in recent weeks.
