Premier League Betting Preview: Manchester United vs Liverpool

Manchester United and Liverpool meet in a Premier League blockbuster at Old Trafford, with kick-off set for 10:30 on Sunday 3 May.

United look like a value bet on the Asian Handicap 0.0. The appeal of this bet is that we win at -164 if the Red Devils beat Liverpool, with stakes returned if the match ends in a draw.

Considering recent form, xG data and the injury situation, where Liverpool are missing star strikers Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah, most indicators point towards a home win. United have won six of their last seven home games, while Liverpool have lost four of their last five away. United also won this season’s head-to-head meeting at Anfield.

Manchester United have enjoyed back-to-back Premier League wins, most recently beating Brentford 2-1. It was a home victory at Old Trafford. Michael Carrick's side had six shots on target and 45% possession, with Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko scoring one goal apiece.

Liverpool claimed a home win in their previous game. A 3-1 triumph against Crystal Palace at Anfield made it three consecutive victories. The Merseyside team enjoyed 53% possession and three shots on goal, with Alexander Isak, Andrew Robertson and Florian Wirtz on the scoresheet.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The most recent head-to-head saw United land a 2-1 away victory over Liverpool at Anfield. Liverpool have landed four victories, United have three wins and there’s been three draws in the past 10 H2H meetings.
