Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview
Liverpool enter this crucial fixture with confidence levels sky high following a 5-0 win at West Ham.
The division’s top scorer Mohamed Salah continued his ridiculous run of form and now boasts a total of 17 goals, three more than Erling Haaland. He also has 13 assists to his name, numbers which almost boggle the mind.
At this moment in time, it is hard to pinpoint a single weakness in the Liverpool side.
With 45 goals scored overall and only 17 conceded, there is a case to be made that the Reds are currently the best team in world football.
So it is hard to see how Amorim’s team can avoid slipping to yet another damaging defeat against their fierce rivals.
United head to Anfield in dismal form, with Monday night’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle their fourth consecutive loss in all competitions.
Amazingly, the Red Devils are only seven points above the relegation zone at this stage of the season, languishing in 14th with a negative goal difference.
Amorim is yet to settle on his best XI and the players also appear to be struggling to adapt to a new playing style, one which utilises a three-man defence and two No10s.
The well-oiled Liverpool machine should be able to easily take advantage of a United outfit in the middle of yet another transitional period.
However, this fixture last season ended in a 0-0 draw, a result any Red Devils supporter would grab with both hands if given the opportunity.
The campaign before, Liverpool claimed a 7-0 victory and a repeat of that scoreline seems more likely than a stalemate.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Odds

Liverpool vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Mohamed Salah to score 2 or more goals @ 4.40
Salah is currently the most in-form footballer on the planet and United’s leaky defence may not be able to contain him. He has also netted 15 times in 16 previous games against the Red Devils. The Egyptian to score three or more goals is at tempting odds of 15.00…
Cody Gakpo to score anytime @ 2.35
As you can see, we fancy Liverpool to win in a very convincing fashion. Gakpo appears to be a nailed on starter these days and scored in each of the last two Premier League wins over Leicester and West Ham.
Liverpool to win to nil @ 2.10
Despite boasting an array of attackers which cost big money, United have failed to score in their last three matches. With Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker standing in the way, expect that number to be increased to four.
