Anfield is the venue as Liverpool and Manchester United go head-to-head in a mouth-watering Premier League showdown.
Liverpool knocked Manchester City out of the FA Cup semi-finals over the weekend, courtesy of a ‘goal-friendly’ 3-2 win at Wembley Stadium, to keep their quadruple hopes alive. Back to the Premier League, the ‘Reds’ will be looking to build on their eye-catching 12-game unbeaten league streak (W10, D2) as they hope to hunt down a single-point deficit on pacesetters Man City. Liverpool thrashed Manchester United 5-0 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford and could complete their first top-flight double over bitter rivals since 2013/14. The Merseysiders are unbeaten in their last three Premier League H2Hs (W1, D2), while they’ve conceded just a single goal across their five previous league encounters at Anfield (W2, D3). They have won each of their last ten Premier League home outings by an aggregate scoreline of 29-2.
On the other hand, Manchester United capitalised on fellow top-four rivals’ slip-ups at the weekend as Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired 3-2 home triumph over basement boys Norwich City helped them close the gap on fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur to three points. However, after going unbeaten in seven consecutive Premier League away matches (W3, D4), the ‘Red Devils’ have lost back-to-back league fixtures on hostile turf by an aggregate score of 5-1. Another defeat at Anfield would see Man United lose three consecutive away games for only the fourth time in their Premier League history, last experiencing such feat in April 2019. A lack of defensive stability has seen Ralf Rangnick’s men concede at least once in each of their seven previous away league outings, which could be a genuine issue against the most prolific Premier League attack.
