Manchester United vs Liverpool predictions: Salah can be the Reds’ main man
- Mohamed Salah has scored 13 goals in his last 10 games against Manchester United
- Five of the last six meetings at Old Trafford have featured at least four goals
- Recommended bet: Mohamed Salah to score at any time
It is only the third week of the Premier League season but fierce rivals Manchester United and Liverpool have been pitted against each other in a hotly anticipated clash at Old Trafford.
United need to bounce back from their late defeat to Brighton last week, while Liverpool have had a perfect start under new manager Arne Slot with successive 2-0 wins over Ipswich and Brentford.
Team news
Rasmus Hojlund remains sidelined for United while Mason Mount was injured in last week’s defeat at Brighton. He joins Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro in the treatment room.
Curtis Jones is set to miss out for Liverpool, although the Reds have no other injury concerns.
The stats
Mohamed Salah has scored 13 goals in his last 10 games against Manchester United.
Liverpool have won on just three of their last 15 visits to Old Trafford.
United have lost two of their last 11 home league games.
Five of the last six meetings at Old Trafford have featured at least four goals.
Liverpool have scored at least twice in 10 of their last 13 league away matches.
The Reds have kept two clean sheets in their last nine Premier League away games.
Prediction
There is always a great deal of anticipation when Liverpool head to Manchester United and usually the match does not disappoint at Old Trafford, with five of the last six meetings there generating at least four goals, including a thrilling 4-3 FA Cup win for the Red Devils last season.
United have had their issues in recent seasons, but they still tend to raise their game against one of their fiercest rivals and that tends to make for plenty of entertainment with the visitors from Anfield never afraid to go on their front foot.
Liverpool have won on only three of their last 15 Old Trafford trips, but one constant has been the superb form of Mohamed Salah, who always seems to be a thorn in United’s side.
The Egyptian has scored 13 goals in his last 10 matches against the Red Devils and has already hit the ground running this term with goals in both of their 2-0 victories against Ipswich and Brentford.
He had a total of five shots on target in those two outings and there looks a strong chance he can make his mark in what looks set to be another high-scoring clash between these two Premier League giants.
