Manchester United vs Liverpool Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 947

Super Sunday sees the Premier League plays host one of the biggest clashes as Liverpool make a trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in a crucial round nine league match with kickoff at 18:30.

Ole Solskjaer is the feeling the heat as pressure continues to pile on his shoulders with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo and arrival of Jadon Sancho and Rafael Varane raising the expectations at Old Trafford as Solskjaer is expected to challenge Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel for the Premier League title this season.

The Red Devils made a solid start to their Premier League campaign claiming four wins in their opening five matches with a draw, but a poor run of form, which has seen them claim just one point from the available nine in their last three games has seen them drop to the sixth spot in the standings.

United were on the receiving end at Kings Power last weekend as Leicester City through Patson Daka, Youri Tielemans, Jamie Vardy and Caglar Soyuncu condemned them to their third Premier League match without a win and now will have to deal with the red-hot Liverpool.

However, Red Devils will enter the match on the back of a confidence boosting 3-2 win against Atalanta on a Wednesday night that saw Cristiano Ronaldo continue to prove he makes a perfect combination with Champions League nights as he rose head and shoulders above everyone to salvage the crucial three points in the five-goal thriller.

Meanwhile Liverpool are flying high this season as they make known their intentions and are just a point behind Chelsea at the top of the Premier League rankings. The Reds have been superb in their start to the campaign and are the only Premier League side that remains unbeaten so far this season, picking up five wins and three draws from their opening eight matches.

The Reds have been red-hot in front of goal with their talisman Mo Salah continuing to prove that he is the best player in the world right now as he has scored in each of his last nine matches and don’t get me wrong, he is not the only one hitting the stride at Liverpool as the club has netted 30 goals in those nine matches and are expected to take apart United’s dodgy defence.

Liverpool head into the match in a sensational form as they have lost none of their last 14 matches across all competitions and are also in a fine away form having won three and drawn one of their four away Premier League matches so far.
