🏆 Match stats: Liverpool can take revenge
Liverpool’s chaotic 4-3 defeat to United at Old Trafford on St Patrick’s Day was a sickening blow for the Merseysiders, though a victory over their rivals in the Premier League would provide the perfect tonic and the Reds are favoured to earn the bragging rights this time around.
United somehow lost a seven-goal thriller of their own at Chelsea on Thursday having led the game deep into added-on time and the confidence-sapping nature of that loss, coupled with another slew of defensive injuries, leaves the Red Devils in poor shape ahead of Sunday’s showdown.
Harry Maguire is likely to be United’s only fit senior centre-half this weekend and the under-manned hosts look ill-equipped to cope with a ravenous Liverpool frontline.
Jurgen Klopp’s charges have won ten of their last 12 Premier League fixtures and with a favourable set of circumstances to take advantage of, they are very backable to win again at a generous price.
Elsewhere, we’re tipping Liverpool to score at least two goals at Old Trafford. The Reds lodged three goals, 25 attempts and 11 efforts on target when they lost in Manchester on March 17, and their final third metrics should be just as meaty against a United defensive unit short of several key pieces.
Predictions:
⚽ Liverpool to win @ 1.62
⚽ Over 1.5 Liverpool goals @ 1.36
🎯 Shooting stats: United’s goal to be peppered again?
An incredible 53 shots were mustered by Manchester United (28) and Liverpool (25) in last month’s epic FA Cup quarter-final skirmish and Sunday’s rematch promises to be just as entertaining.
United have conceded a staggering 264 shots in their last 12 fixtures combined and at least 20 in eight of their last ten assignments, and their under-protected and injury-stricken backline is likely to be given a rough ride again on Sunday.
With United’s shambolic work off the ball certain to leave them exposed, back Liverpool to rack up 17 or more shots at Old Trafford, while Colombian Luis Diaz is the pick of the forward line at 1.50 to clock at least one accurate attempt ahead of shorter-priced team-mates.
Mohamed Salah meanwhile, has routinely relished the opportunity to inflict misery on United and the prolific Egyptian has scored an incredible 13 career goals against Liverpool’s chief rivals, eight of which were plundered in games at Old Trafford.
The 31-year-old was among the goalscorers again in Manchester on St. Patrick’s Day and based on his sparkling performances in this fixture, it could be worth backing Salah to score or assist against United again.
For the hosts, Marcus Rashford catches the eye to have a least two shots. The wide attacker – who was benched on Thursday – should be fresh to start on Sunday and the 26-year-old has excelled against Liverpool before.
Rashford grabbed a goal and managed four shots against the Merseysiders in March and he also hit five shots – and the net – in last season’s corresponding fixture between the sides.
Predictions:
⚽ Liverpool to have 17+ shots @ 1.40
🔄️⚽ Luis Diaz to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.50
⚽ Marcus Rashford to have 2+ shots @ 1.36
🔄️⚽ Mohamed Salah to score or assist @ 1.36
🚩 Corners stats: Look to Liverpool for value
Liverpool were the dominant side in terms of possession (58.4%) and corners won (8-5) at Old Trafford last month and the Reds’ superior ball-retention skills should allow them to master both metrics ahead of United again on Sunday.
Only Arsenal and Man City have won more Premier League corners than Liverpool this season and Jurgen Klopp’s trophy-chasers won another 13 of them in their midweek triumph over bottom club Sheffield United at Anfield.
Man Utd meanwhile, are major underperformers in that direction too and only the Blades (7.80) have been conceding more corners per league fixture on average than the Red Devils (7.43).
Liverpool managed to earn at least five corners in ten of their last 11 Premier League matches and with United alarmingly generous in that area, we recommend backing the Reds to win at least five of them again on Sunday.
Look for Liverpool to win more corners overall than their hosts too, a feat they have achieved in six of their last seven meetings with United since October 2021.
⚽ Over 4.5 Liverpool corners @ 1.57
⚽ Liverpool corner match bet @ 1.40
🛑 Cards and Fouls stats: Sparks to fly as rivals clash
The St Patrick’s Day collision between United and Liverpool produced six cards, including a late red for Amad Diallo, and that was the fourth time in six meetings between the antagonists where at least five cards were brandished.
With scores to settle after an intense tussle in March, there should be plenty of needle again on Sunday and referee Anthony Taylor could have his work cut out to keep a lid on tempers at Old Trafford.
Taylor had to reach into his pocket nine times when he officiated Liverpool’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal in February and Sunday’s game is a fixture of similar magnitude. With those factors adding confidence, back 4+ cards to land again.
Though Liverpool dominated two thirds of possession against United last month, they actually out-did their hosts for fouls (12-11). Indeed, the Reds rank fourth in the Premier League this season for average fouls committed per game (12.20) and that trend can open up avenues to explore this weekend.
Darwin Nunez (two), Alexis Mac Allister (two) and Dominik Szoboszlai (one) were among the chief culprits in terms of individual indiscretions at Old Trafford last month. Combative Uruguayan Nunez is a superb price at 1.50 to commit just one foul on Sunday, while Szoboszlai is just as attractive at 1.53 in the same bracket.
For United, captain Bruno Fernandes has been irritatingly petulant in recent weeks, fouling at least once in each of his last ten Premier League appearances. The Portuguese star was also cautioned for one of his two fouls against Liverpool in the cup last month and he should be on your shortlist to foul at least once again here.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 3.5 cards @ 1.36
🔄️⚽ Darwin Nunez to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.50
🔄️⚽ Dominik Szoboszlai to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.53
🔄️⚽ Bruno Fernandes to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.29
