Key Players: Mohamed Salah vs Bruno Fernandes
Mohamed Salah's goalscoring prowess will be vital for Liverpool as they look to break down a vulnerable Manchester United defence. His ability to cut inside and finish could prove the difference. For the visitors, Bruno Fernandes will need to be at his creative best to provide service to Rasmus Hojlund up front and make the most of the few chances that come their way.
Liverpool vs Man Utd Prediction
Liverpool are in imperious form, and their home record against Manchester United is formidable, with the Reds having kept a clean sheet in their last five league meetings at Anfield. Manchester United, conversely, are in a dreadful run of form, losing four on the bounce, and are likely to struggle against a strong Liverpool side. Expect the home side to win comfortably and keep another clean sheet.
