Manchester United v Liverpool Betting Tips 01/09/24
Manchester United vs Liverpool sees the two historic rivals ignite their long-standing Premier League feud on Sunday. So here is our FREE Manchester United v Liverpool Betting Tips and match preview. However, the old foes come into this tense encounter in contrasting form. United’s same old problems continue under Erik Ten Hag following a slow start to the season. Liverpool will be flying high after making a perfect Premier League start under Arne Slot. Can the Reds keep the good times rolling at Old Trafford? The Man United vs Liverpool fixture kicks off at 4:30 p.m. It will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Form and Team News
Man United started their 2024/25 season with a 1-1 Community Shield draw with Man City before losing on penalties. The Red Devils followed this result with a 1-0 win over Fulham in their Premier League opener, thanks to Josh Zirkzee’s late winner. Ten Hag’s side couldn’t make it two wins from two, and conceded an injury-time winner during a 2-1 loss at Brighton last time out. In contrast, Liverpool look strong under Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this summer. The Dutchman led Liverpool to an unbeaten pre-season of four wins from five, including a 3-0 victory against United. The Reds began their Premier League campaign with 2–0 wins against Ipswich and Brentford.
United will be without defenders Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Lenry Yoro. Rasmus Hojlund is also unavailable due to injury. Liverpool’s only injury doubt is Curtis Jones, but otherwise the Merseysiders have a fully fit squad.
Match Winner Bet
Man United’s inconsistent form leaves them as outsiders to win against Liverpool. The Red Devils are winless in three of their last four in all competitions. Their long-term Premier League form is also a concern. In 12 previous top-flight games, Ten Hag’s side have won just four. Such form leaves United with 14/5 odds to win, as provided by William Hill. A draw might be a better consideration in the match winner market. United held Liverpool twice in the Premier League last season – a 0-0 draw at Anfield and 2-2 at Old Trafford. They have also lost just once to the Reds in five previous meetings. A potential United vs Liverpool draw has the best odds at 16/5, provided by Bet365. Liverpool’s consistency is impressive, and it’s difficult to see Slot’s side easing up here. The Reds are unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches, winning eight. In addition, the Merseysiders looked well-organised and balanced in their first two matches, and we can see Liverpool building winning momentum at Old Trafford. Our match winner picks for this game is a Liverpool away win at 10/11, offered by 888Sport.
BTTS (Both Teams To Score) Betting
Beyond the match winner market, a potential BTTS scoreline between Liverpool and Man United looks a good pick. United have found goals in their recent matches, netting at least once in their last three. Liverpool are also efficient goalscorers having scored 25 in 11 games. BTTS has also landed often between these two sides in recent encounters, especially at Old Trafford. The last three meetings have seen goals come at both ends, and we expect this trend to continue on Sunday. At 1/2 odds, Matchbook has the best value here.
Anytime Goalscorer
As we expect goals to come at both ends, looking at the anytime goalscorer market could provide additional value. Our first pick may not be the most obvious, as he has yet to score this season. But Marcus Rashford has an excellent scoring record against Liverpool at Anfield. The forward has struck seven career goals against the Reds and all of them came on home turf. Rashford was also on target when the sides met in the FA Cup last season and, at 3/1, he could be a decent scorer pick in this fixture. However, a player with a better head-to-head record in this fixture is Liverpool’s Mo Salah. In 15 clashes against United, Salah has scored 14 goals, with eight coming at Old Trafford. The Egyptian has made a positive start to the 2024/25 season too, netting two in as many games. It’s hard to ignore Salah and his incredible recent goalscoring numbers. As a result, he is our top goalscorer pick against United and Bet365 will return 5/4 odds.
