Premier League on Sky Sports: Liverpool vs Man Utd betting preview and tips
This weekend, Super Sunday serves up a classic as Liverpool welcome fierce rivals Manchester United to Anfield.
It’s a meeting steeped in history, but both sides arrive with very modern problems to solve.
And with league momentum and early-season narratives on the line, this match could shape more than just bragging rights.
Here, Sports News Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Liverpool head into the game on the back of three straight defeats – their worst run yet under boss Arne Slot.
That slump includes a dramatic Champions League reverse at Galatasaray and 2-1 Premier League losses to Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
Admittedly, the Reds retain an ability to look sharp, but regular lapses in concentration and missed chances have definitely proved costly in recent weeks.
Summer signing Alexander Isak is also still waiting for his breakout moment, and Anfield will be hoping this is the stage for it.
United, meanwhile, sit 10th in the table after a stuttering start to the campaign under Ruben Amorim, having taken 10 points from seven games.
They signed off before the international break with a 2-0 win over Sunderland, but an early exit from the Carabao Cup and patchy league form have left fans wanting more.
