Liverpool vs Manchester United – Liverpool hosts Manchester United at the Anfield on 14th October, Saturday in a crucial English Premier League fixture.

Liverpool have twelve points and are placed seventh in the English Premier League standings. Their opponents tomorrow, Manchester United, are one of the favorites to clinch the Premier League title as they have nineteen points, trailing leaders Manchester City on goal difference only.

Contributor’s Pick

According to Liverpool vs Manchester United H2H Stats, the last five games between these two clubs resulted in one win for either side and three draws in the three most recent fixtures.

Although Liverpool are undefeated in 28 of their last 30 home matches in the Premier League, Manchester United are at the top of their game and Jose Mourinho’s ruthless side could tear apart a heavily depleted Liverpool side.

Liverpool have seen under 2.5 goals in their last five matches against Manchester United in all competitions. It should be a closely contested affair and an intriguing tactical contest is likely to be in the offing, but Manchester United are likely to win 3-0 tomorrow.
