Tipster’s Angle

An exciting contest on the cards when the two Premier League heavyweights go head to head at Old Trafford. It’s all even stevens in the head to head matches, but Manchester United have an edge by considering the recent form.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 2.10

Even three of the last five matches that Manchester United has played at home had under 2.5 goals scored in them. While Liverpool has seen under 2.5 goals in eight of the last 11 matches that they have played across competitions. Apart from that, under 2.5 goals were scored in three of the last five away matches that Liverpool has played. So, it is very likely that under 2.5 goals will be scored at 2.10 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Manchester United To Win or Draw @ 1.66

In the last five head to head matches, Manchester United has won one match, Liverpool won one and the other three matches ended in a draw.
