Manchester United v Liverpool Betting Tips [24 October 2021]

This is a vital game for both of these Premier League teams. Manchester United begin the weekend sixth in the table and host rivals Liverpool who are in second. United are four points behind their opponents, they won't want to see that gap widen to seven. Liverpool meanwhile are a point behind leaders Chelsea but with Norwich visiting Stamford Bridge on Saturday, it's likely to be four points by the time this game began. It's been an up-and-down week for Manchester United. They lost 4-2 at Leicester last weekend and then went 2-0 down to Atalanta before winning 3-2.  When they were two down at home on Wednesday, the Solksjaer critics were having a field day but they managed the comeback. Seven of their last nine games have had over 2.5 goals scored in them  United have just one point from their last three games in the Premier League and a single point from the last two at home. Keeping clean sheets helps win titles and United can't do that at present. The last nine league and cup games have seen them concede and it's also nine home Premier League games without a clean sheet. Can they keep out Salah and company?

Liverpool had another good win in the Champions League in midweek.They are the only team in the Premier League with an unbeaten record with five wins and three draws. Eight league games have seen them score 22 goals, six more than any other team in the league. Nine league and cup games in a row have seen them score at least two goals. Salah is in top form and with Firmino getting goals too, then it looks certain they will score at Old Trafford. Four of their last five matches have seen both teams score. All but one of their last ten played have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Bet on that stat to come up in what should be a thrilling game.
