Liverpool Team Analysis
Liverpool endured a nightmare week before the international break. They suffered three straight defeats in all competitions, which marked the first in Arne Slot’s managerial career. Those losses came against Crystal Palace, Galatasaray, and Chelsea, but the Reds will be desperate to respond with a statement win here. Encouragingly, all three defeats came away from home. At Anfield, Liverpool have been flawless this season, winning all five matches across competitions.
Slot’s biggest concern lies in performance levels rather than results alone. The team has struggled for control, with key figures like Mohamed Salah, Conor Bradley, and Ibrahima Konaté out of form. New signings Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Milos Kerkez are also yet to find their rhythm. Saturday’s clash with Manchester United carries added weight as Liverpool haven’t lost four straight games in 38 years.
Liverpool Line-Up Prediction
Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch are expected to be available for this local derby, but Alisson Becker (hamstring) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) remain sidelined.
Possible starting lineup: Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike

Man United Team Analysis
Manchester United entered the international break on a positive note, securing three consecutive home victories over Burnley, Chelsea, and Sunderland to climb into 10th place. However, pressure still mounts on Ruben Amorim, whose future could hinge on the result at Anfield. History offers a warning, as previous United managers have often faced the sack after Liverpool defeats.
Amorim’s side have failed to win any of their last eight Premier League away matches, a run bettered only by Brentford and Burnley. Despite drawing 2-2 at Anfield last season, United have not beaten Liverpool away in the league since 2016. Amorim, though, could become only the third manager to win his first two away games at the reigning champions’ ground.
Man United Line Up Prediction
Lisandro Martinez (knee) remains a few weeks from returning, while Noussair Mazraoui (knock) and Ayden Heaven (unspecified) face late fitness tests. Amorim eased concerns over Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Amad Diallo, and Matheus Cunha.
Possible starting lineup: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Mount; Sesko.

Liverpool vs Man United Betting Tips & Predictions
Judging by their recent form and statistical data, here are the top betting picks for the Liverpool vs Man United encounter:
- Liverpool to Win @ 1.62 (2/3) — A lot of factors favor Liverpool to return to winning ways at Anfield. They’ve won all five of their home matches this season and are currently on a 20-match unbeaten run in the league. Conversely, Man United haven’t won any of their away matches this season and haven’t won at Anfield since 2016. This set the stage for Slot’s team to claim valuable three points this weekend.
- Both Teams To Score — Yes @ 1.50 (1/2) – Since their clean sheet against Burnley in mid-September, Liverpool have conceded in six straight games. They’ve allowed nine goals, the joint-most among the Premier League’s top nine alongside Chelsea. Manchester United’s defensive struggles are similarly concerning. The Red Devils have failed to keep a clean sheet in any away match this season and have conceded eleven league goals. With both backlines vulnerable, this clash looks primed for goals at both ends on Sunday.
- Mohammed Salah to Score @ 2.05 (1/1) – Salah may be enduring a dip in form, but few players relish facing Manchester United as much as he does. The Egyptian star has scored 16 goals in 17 appearances against the Red Devils. Despite not being at his usual best, he has already netted twice this season, just one behind Gakpo, Liverpool’s top scorer. With penalty duties in his favor, Salah looks primed to strike again on Sunday.
Final Thoughts & Recommended Picks
Home advantage and Liverpool’s recent dominance in this fixture favor the Reds to claim another victory over United. Here are our recommended Liverpool vs Man United predictions.
✅ Liverpool to Win @ 1.62 (2/3)
✅ Mohammed Salah to Score @ 2.05 (1/1)
