Manchester United vs. Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool has been in phenomenal form lately, obliterating opponents in the Europa League and picking up consistent wins in the Premier League. They most recently drew against Manchester City, which if not for a bad non-call by the refs at the end of the match they would have probably pulled out a win, they also won four straight games before that.
They have some players returning and should field a pretty strong 11, I'm expecting Dominik Szoboszlai, Mo Salah, and Darwin Nunez to all get the start today. Manchester United on the other hand, hasn't been dominating as much this season, but they are only eight points off of fourth place. But their form has been up and down and they've struggled against top teams.
They have come up short against them in the last few years, most notably a 7-0 beating at Anfield. I don't expect an exact repeat of that, but through 90 minutes I don't see them being able to keep up. Their midfield is weak in comparison to Alexis MacAllister, Wataru Endo, and Szobo and Harvey Elliot, and this will be they key part of this match.
We saw Liverpool obliterate Manchester City's world class midfield recently in the second half of that game, I expect a repeat for the entirety of the game against Manchester United. This is Jurgen Klopp's last season, the players are willing to die on the field and give it their all for him. I think Liverpool takes this match by a goal or two.
