Manchester United vs Liverpool is always a blockbuster game, and we expect this Sunday’s game to be no different as new Liverpool manager Arne Slot visits Old Trafford for the first time.

Even with some potential disparity in quality between the two sides, we have seen many times before how perceived worse teams can turn up on their day and not only get a result, but win in this fixture. You only have to look to last season to see how United managed not to lose over three games to the Reds, showing that form goes out of the window for such a big derby.

Being at Old Trafford in front of a home crowd will give United a much needed boost, especially with the fact that they know they have beaten Liverpool twice in their last three visits.

But on the other hand, Liverpool already seem to be firing under Slot. Having not even conceded a goal over their first two games in the league, they will be looking for no less than three points on Sunday.

Man United vs Liverpool Matches

In previous Man United vs Liverpool matches, it has been a bit of a rough ride for the Red Devils dating back to March 2016, especially in the Premier League.

Of all their meetings since then, United have won just four times, twice in the Premier League and twice in the FA Cup.

Meanwhile, they have lost seven times during that period, and it has been a draw on nine occasions, suggesting where it might be worth putting your money at best odds of 16/5 for the draw with bet365.

However, on a smaller scale United have had the better of it over the last five matches, winning twice and losing only once. But, that win did come in the FA Cup last season, with United last beating Liverpool in the Premier League at the beginning of the 2022/23 season.

In all of the meetings between the two sides, United have the better of it with 91 wins to 81 for Liverpool, but there's no doubt in recent years that the Reds have been catching up, and only look to be getting closer in the future if things continue as they are.

Man United vs Liverpool Prediction

Following a defeat to Brighton for Man United and Liverpool looking extremely comfortable over their first two games, this derby only looks like heading one way, and that’s to the visitors.

However, many would have said that about both times the two teams met last season when United went on to finish 8th and they ended the season without a defeat to Liverpool following two draws and one win in the FA Cup.They were arguably extremely fortunate across all three of those games not to lose, though.

It might seem silly to say considering Liverpool had Jurgen Klopp as manager last season, but I don’t think new Liverpool boss Slot will tolerate the inefficiency in front of goal we saw from the Reds last season in the Man Utd vs Liverpool matches. Plus, the new style of Slot might be more difficult for the home side to deal with compared to the previous regime, which Erik ten Hag seemingly had figured out to a certain extent.

Much will depend on whether United start with Joshua Zirkzee through the middle, with the experiment of Bruno Fernandes up front vs Brighton not particularly going to plan.

However, I only see Liverpool taking the three points on Sunday, continuing their 100% start to the season, although I do think that they will concede for the first time in the league this season.
