Ten Hag’s men started off their campaign with a nervy 1-0 over Fulham before getting beaten by Brighton through a 95th minute Joao Pedro header at the Amex Stadium last week.
However, they have a decent home record against Liverpool in recent times, winning two and drawing one of their last three head to head meetings at this venue.
As for Liverpool, they have made a fantastic start to the season winning both their games 2-0, not conceding a single goal so far.
After a kind opening two fixtures against Brentford and Ipswich, this will be the first real test for Arne Slot’s men as they aim to make it three wins on the bounce and keep their perfect start to the season intact.
A mouth-watering Premier League clash awaits us and I have included my two best bets in the preview below.
Team News:
Leny Yoro, Malacia, Hojlund, Luke Shaw, Lindelof & Mason Mount are out for Manchester United.
Curtis Jones is doubtful for Liverpool. No other injuries/suspensions.
Kobbie Mainoo is leading the charts for fouls for Manchester United with two and three fouls committed in each of his first two games for the club so far this season. Playing in the defensive midfield position, he loves to get stuck in and that extra motivation against Liverpool should help get this selection over the line. He has also committed at least one foul in three of his last four meetings against Liverpool.
Ryan Gravenberch has committed the joint-most fouls in the Premier League (7). Playing in the defensive midfield spot, he has committed five and two fouls in his first two league games and his aggressive tackling nature combined with the significance of this huge fixture should get this selection over the line.
Bruno Fernandes tops the leaderboard for shots for Manchester United with seven shots in just two league games so far. He has been playing further forward and getting into threatening positions in and around the box and he is also the designated free kick taker for the club. He has also registered at least one shot in all four of his head to head meetings against Liverpool, also scoring a goal in this exact fixture last season.
We were extremely close to landing our longshot bet builder last time out, falling just one Saka shot short in the Aston Villa v Arsenal game so I am hoping for better luck this time around. As usual, we will be taking higher lines on all three selections for our second pick.
Kobbie Mainoo has hit the “Over 1.5 fouls” line in both of his league starts so far this season and considering fixtures between these two sides are always so heated, there is a good chance he commits another couple of fouls.
Ryan Gravenberch is leading the Premier League fouls charts with seven fouls to his name. He has also hit the “Over 1.5 fouls” line in both of his league starts so far this season and loves a cynical foul to disrupt the opposition’s momentum.
As for Bruno Fernandes, he has registered six shots in his last two meetings against Liverpool, clearing the “Over 1.5 shots” line in both games. He is also top of the shots leaderboard for Manchester United this season with seven attempts after two league games so far. Combining these three selections gives us a cracking longshot bet builder @ 11/2 and we will take it as our second bet for this massive fixture with a small 0.25pt stake.
Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
