Liverpool’s Anfield hosts another classic this Sunday, as they take on Manchester United in a fixture loaded with history and stakes. The Reds come into the match on a run of tough results and will be without Alisson Becker due to a hamstring injury. United, meanwhile, have struggled on the road and will be under pressure to prove a point under Ruben Amorim amid criticism and recent away woes. Here’s how we see this one playing out, with our best bets and a prediction.

Betting Preview
Liverpool head into Sunday’s showdown under real pressure. The defending champions have lost three in a row across all competitions, the first time Arne Slot’s ever endured such a run. Defeats to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea have dented confidence, and they’ll be desperate to reset at Anfield.

Ruben Amorim’s United arrive with momentum, but history isn’t on their side. Liverpool have lost just one of their last 14 league meetings with United (W7 D6), that defeat coming at Old Trafford in 2022. At Anfield, it’s been pure dominance; United’s last win here was way back in 2016.
Squad news tilts slightly in Liverpool’s favour. Alisson remains sidelined, but Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate are expected to return. United are near full strength, missing only Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martínez.

On paper, United’s defence looks solid, only Arsenal and Newcastle have faced fewer shots this season, but dig deeper, and the cracks show. This one looks like a classic Anfield script: United dangerous on the counter, Liverpool dominant with possession, and the Reds likely to edge it once again in front of their home fans.
