Manchester United vs. Liverpool Odds: Two plays for huge Monday Night Football meeting

Live on Sky Sports, Manchester United host Liverpool at Old Trafford this Monday night at 8pm. After 2 games, the hosts sit 19th in the league table without any points having lost 2-1 to Brighton at home and then 4-0 to Brentford. Erik Ten Haag has been handed a huge task of helping to rebuild this United squad and he will be well aware of the task at hand when Liverpool visit Old Trafford.

The visitors have not had the best of starts to the season either, having only taken 2 points against Crystal Palace & Fulham in their first 2 games of the season. For both teams, this game feels like a must win to gain some momentum and get closer towards the top half of the table. Manchester United have signed Casemiro this week to help strengthen their squad but he will not be available to play against Liverpool.

For Liverpool, Darwin Nunez picked up a red card against Palace for violent conduct and will miss the next 3 games as a result. Recent history has seen Liverpool dominate this fixture having beaten United in their last 3 premier league meetings 4-0, 5-0 & 4-2 with 2 of those wins coming at Old Trafford.

Although Liverpool head into this game as overwhelming favourites, United will be hoping to take advantage of their vocal home support and cause an upset to get their season back on track. There have been a grand total of 20 goals in their last 4 competitive meetings so I would not be surprised if we see another goal-fest here.

A massive premier league clash awaits us on Monday night and as usual, I have you covered with 2 of my best betting angles for this game included in the preview below:

Team News:

Victor Lindelof, Facundo Pellistri & Brandon Williams are out for Manchester United while Anthony Martial is doubtful.

Liverpool have a long injury list. Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, Diogo Jota, Thiago, Oxlade Chamberlain, Curtis Jones, Calvin Ramsey & Darwin Nunez are out while Firmino, Keita & Kelleher are doubtful.

Man United possible starting lineup:

De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Fernandes, Fred, Eriksen; Sancho, Ronaldo, Rashford

Liverpool possible starting lineup:

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Diaz

- Over 1.5 offsides in the match for Manchester United

- Over 2 goals in the match for both teams combined

Liverpool are known all around Europe for their high line which consistently catches opposing teams offside. So far this season, they have had 6 offsides against them in 2 games and were averaging over 3 offsides against them last season. In this fixture last season at Old Trafford, Man United were caught offside 7 times and I can see them comfortably clearing the “Over 1.5 offsides” line for our first selection of the bet builder.

As for the goals, there have been 20 goals in their last 4 competitive meetings. Man United have seen at least 3 goals in both their games so far while Liverpool have seen 6 goals in their first 2 games. All the stats point towards a goal-fest and I am following that trend to include the “Over 2 goals” selection as the second pick of our bet builder. Take this as our main 1pt bet for this massive Monday night clash.

Trent Alexander Arnold is going to be the main focus for me for my long-shot bet. He was the leading assist provider for Liverpool last season with 18 assists in all competitions and also provided an assist in the 5-0 win at Old Trafford last season. He has had 8 shots in his last 4 games against United at Old Trafford and he is also expected to be on free kicks. So I will be combining an assist for him with 2 shots for my long shot @ 10/1 which can also be used for your free bet offered by bet365.

Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
