While the hosts started the season in blistering form, three successive defeats before the break have cast doubt over their title credentials.
Those losses, all away from home, saw Arne Slot’s men surrender top spot in the table, but Anfield remains a fortress. The Reds have lost just two of their last 53 home league games (W41, D10) and will be confident of getting back on track in front of their supporters.
Manchester United, meanwhile, make the short trip down the M62 sitting five points behind their rivals. Ruben Amorim’s side have shown flashes of improvement recently, winning two of their last three Premier League matches, but they remain winless in eight away league fixtures (D2, L6) - their longest such run since 1989.

Liverpool to win
Liverpool have been dominant in this fixture in recent years, losing just one of the last 14 Premier League meetings (W7, D6) and none of the last nine at Anfield.
Slot’s men tend to respond strongly after setbacks, and with the Kop behind them, they’ll be eager to make a statement following their pre-break wobble.
United’s dreadful away form adds to the appeal of this bet with Amorim’s side yet to win on the road in eight league games, while Liverpool have averaged over two points per game at home since 2022. The Reds’ attack should have too much for a United defence that has already allowed one of the highest expected goals against (xGA) figures in the league this season (10.1).
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Liverpool beat Manchester United regardless of the score.
Over 2.5 goals
Anfield fixtures between these two rarely disappoint. The last four Premier League meetings at this ground have produced 17 goals, with Liverpool scoring at least twice in each of those games.
The Reds have also been involved in some late drama this season, with their seven league matches featuring ten goals beyond the 75th minute.
United, for their part, have been unpredictable defensively but remain dangerous in transition, particularly through Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo. Given both sides’ attacking firepower and Liverpool’s tendency to push forward aggressively, goals look likely at both ends making over 2.5 goals a strong pick.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals scored in the game between Liverpool and Manchester United.
Mohamed Salah to score or assist
Few players relish this fixture quite like Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian has 13 goals and six assists in 15 Premier League appearances against Manchester United - the most goal involvements any player has ever registered against them in the competition’s history.
Salah’s form remains steady, with multiple chances created in 12 of his last 15 league appearances and shots in each of his previous three.
Given that ten of his 13 goals against United have come after half-time, he’s a consistent danger throughout, and at 1/2 with Bet365, this looks one of the weekend’s most reliable player tips.
Tip: Mohamed Salah to score or assist @1/2
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Mohamed Salah scores or assists against Manchester United.
