Liverpool vs Manchester United, EPL 17.01.2021

A mouthwatering encounter awaits at Anfield this Sunday as traditional English rivals Liverpool and Manchester United lock horns for the first time this season.

This is a huge game for both teams and it has massive implications is so far as the title race is concerned. Read on to get our betting predictions for the game.

LIVERPOOL

Liverpool have blown hot and cold this season. They were installed as odds-on favourites to defend their title after outclassing Tottenham here and crushing Crystal Palace 7-0 in their own backyard in mid-December. However, the Reds come out ice cold in the next three fixtures, drawing against both West Brom and Newcastle before succumbing to a shock 1-0 loss at Southampton to all but surrender the top spot to their rivals.

Injuries to key personnel mean they have had a significantly bumpier ride in this season’s campaign, a far cry from their title-winning run last season where they were basically coasting to the title at this same stage of the season.

Jurgen Klopp fielded a relatively strong team against a young Aston Villa team in their last match and they ran comfortable 4-1 winners. His big guns Sadio Mande and Salah were on the scoresheet and he is hoping they that will give them much needed confidence following their prolonged drought.

MANCHESTER UNITED

Manchester United have recovered from a slow start to their EPL campaign. Paul Pogba’s deflected volley earned them a hard-fought 1-0 win at Burnley, which enabled them to leapfrog Liverpool as the outright league leaders. This is the first time they lead the league at this stage of the season since the exit of Alex Ferguson after 2012-13 season.

United have not had as many injury issues as their hosts and Pogba’s form, alongside the continued brilliance of Bruno Fernandes, who earned a club fourth Premier League player of the month award, has allowed Solskjaer the chance to build strong formations around them to great effect.

The Red Devils have fallen short against high profile teams the last couple of seasons. They have failed to get past semi-finals of cup competitions in this time and lost this corresponding fixture 2-0 last season. That said, they look like a different team and will look to make a statement of their intent and title credentials here.
