Man Utd v Liverpool Betting Tips and Predictions

Manchester United v Liverpool predictions and betting tips for this weekend’s Saturday Night Football in the Premier League.

 

The international break always leaves fans desperate for the domestic action to restart and the Premier League couldn’t have dished up a more enthralling fixture.

 

Man Utd v Liverpool Predictions

 

Despite the influx of new players into both squads, you can rest assured that all 22 players selected for Saturday’s clash will be fully aware of the importance and history of the fixture.

 

Last season’s game at Old Trafford saw the home side come out on top; winning 3-0. Although the scoreline suggests United coasted to a victory, it was the world-class performance from David De Gea that ensured Liverpool didn’t leave the Theatre of Dreams with anything to show for their efforts. It has been reported that DDG will be back in the United line up for the first team this campaign after his deadline day move to Real Madrid collapsed. The 24-year-old Spanish goalkeeper is a class above his rivals for the position and if LVG wants to get another win under his belt, it would make sense for the manager to put their differences to one side and select De Gea to start.

 

Raheem Sterling was a constant thorn in United’s side that day, so LVG will be delighted the English youngster is no longer wearing the red of Liverpool. Another thing that will have thrilled the United boss is seeing his skipper, Wayne Rooney, notch the record breaking goal for England on Tuesday night in their win over Switzerland. Although it was once again from the penalty spot, LVG will be hopeful that having got the goal, Rooney will arrive back in Manchester full of confidence.

 

And for my Man Utd v Liverpoool prediction, I am backing Rooney to enter the field with a fire in his belly on Saturday evening. The former Evertonian scored the opening goal in this fixture last season, and I am tipping Wazza to do the same again this weekend, which can be backed at odds of 5/1 with Paddy Power.

 

Now straight onto my second Man Utd v Liverpool prediction, and it is once again for a Manchester United player to find the back of the net after also scoring for his country on international duty midweek. Juan Mata scored the only goal of the game as Spain beat Macedonia earlier this week and also has form when it comes to notching against Brendan Rodgers side. The little Spaniard scored in the victory at Old Trafford last season and also got both goals as United beat Liverpool at Anfield in March.

 

Mata to score at any time on Saturday is available at best odds of 3/1 with Stan James.

 

While the game at Anfield last season should be remembered for Mata’s spectacular goal, I predict that most people will recall Steven Gerrard’s cameo more than the goals that decided the tie! Introduced at half time, the ex-Liverpool captain was sent off after just 38 seconds for a stamp on Ander Herrera.

 

This Premier League fixture has produced 16 red cards, with only Everton v Liverpool (20) seeing more sendings-off. With tensions set to be sky-high in front of the Sky cameras, there will undoubtedly be a few full-blooded challenges flying in during the opening exchanges. If Michael Oliver brandishes a couple of early yellow cards, there is every chance a second card will follow at some stage, so a punt on a red card could be an easy way to make some money.

 

Oliver has averaged five yellow cards per game over his four matches so far since August and has also dished out three sendings off, so for my third Man Utd v Liverpool prediction it certainly makes sense to back the red card at odds of 5/2 with Bet365.
