THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- Man Utd’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Atalanta in midweek which saw them come from two goals down in the Champions League sees them enter this fixture with some momentum behind them.
- Marcus Rashford suffered a dead leg in that game and is a doubt for the visit of Liverpool as are Fred and Bruno Fernandes, whilst centre-back Raphael Varane is out injured although Anthony Martial could recover in time to feature.
LIVERPOOL
- Liverpool’s 0-5 thrashing of Watford last weekend kept the pressure on league leaders Chelsea, with the Reds having now won three of their last four games in all competitions.
- Midfielders Thiago and Harvey Ellliott will both miss out, but Curtis Jones will be desperately hoping he can play some part in this crucial encounter.

THE PREDICTION
Even though Man Utd are winless in their last three Premier League games, form means little in a match of this magnitude. Bitter rivals Liverpool are on the back of a thrilling 2-3 win away at Atletico and are yet to be beaten in all competitions this season. When taking into account the quality of this Liverpool side and how well they have played in 2021-22, the Reds are more than capable of picking up at least a point at Old Trafford, especially when considering the form of Salah and should be backed via the double chance market in this one.
Tip: LIVERPOOL WIN/DRAW DOUBLE CHANCE
