Liverpool have had a long international break to stew after losing three consecutive matches for the first time in Arne Slot’s reign.
All three of those losses — 2-1 against Crystal Palace and Chelsea either side of a 1-0 defeat by Galatasaray — came away from home, but Premier League title contenders Liverpool will return to Anfield on Sunday.
Visitors Manchester United have not won at Anfield since 2016, while Liverpool have beaten them 3-0, 7-0, 4-0 and 5-0 in recent meetings.
Those results make 8/13 look like a tasty price for a Liverpool win on Sunday, but the last two Anfield clashes between these two have ended as draws. Another stalemate can be backed at 18/5.
Meanwhile, the best available price on a United victory is 17/4.

Liverpool vs Man United betting tips
Manchester United have not won any of their last nine domestic away games, while Liverpool have a perfect record of five wins out of five at Anfield so far this season.
That makes it very hard to back against Liverpool on Sunday. Odds of 8/13 on a Liverpool win look tempting for those looking to build a weekend accumulator.
However, Liverpool — who have multiple injury issues and will definitely be without first-choice keeper Alisson Becker this weekend — look far from watertight at the back. Arne Slot’s side have kept just two clean sheets in 11 games this term, so expect to see goals at both ends.
The bookies agree, with both teams to score priced at just 11/20. But you can get a much tastier 7/4 on BTTS combined with a Liverpool win.
Elsewhere, in the player betting, Mo Salah can be backed at 19/4 to be the first goalscorer, while he is 11/8 to score anytime.
Salah has only scored twice in the Premier League so far this season, but he has been averaging around two shots per game and he famously loves playing against Man United. Salah has netted 13 times in 15 league clashes with the Red Devils.
Looking at slightly more unorthodox markets, you can get 21/20 on there being more goals in the second half than in the first. Considering Liverpool’s record of scoring late goals this season, that looks like decent value.
Indeed, there have been more second-half goals than first-half goals in six of Liverpool’s seven games so far this season, with last month’s 2-1 win over Everton the outlier.
FootballBlog.co.uk’s best betting tips for Liverpool vs Man United:
- Liverpool to win and BTTS (7/4)
- Mo Salah to score anytime (11/8)
- Second half to witness more goals than the first (21/20)
