Liverpool vs Manchester Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-10-18 15:30.
[p]Another chapter of one of English football’s most heated rivalries will be written when Liverpool host Manchester United, with the visitors surprisingly carrying the better form going into the clash.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The international break couldn’t have come at a better time for Liverpool, whose dominant start to the campaign has since experienced a catastrophic reversal with three successive defeats.  Each of those losses were away from home, with two being in the Premier League and resulting in them losing their place at the top of the table, but the Anfield faithful should have full trust in their team’s ability to get back on track here since Liverpool have lost just two of their last 53 home league matches (W41, D10).[/p]
[p]United make the short trip down the M62 in tenth place prior to the weekend, five points behind their hosts after winning two of their last three Premier League matches (L1) following a 2-0 victory over Sunderland before the break. The Red Devils went throughout the entirety of last season without winning back-to-back league games, and the odds of them doing so here are against them considering they’re winless in their last eight away top-flight fixtures (D2, L6) – their longest such streak since going 11 without victory in 1989![/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Liverpool have lost just one of the last 14 league H2Hs (W7, D6) and none of their last nine at home (W4, D5), meaning they could become just the second side in Premier League history, after Chelsea, to avoid defeat in 10+ consecutive home games against United.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Liverpool’s seven Premier League games this season have featured ten goals beyond the 75th minute.[/p]
[p]None of Liverpool’s last nine games were decided by a 2+ goal margin.[/p]
[p]Eight of United’s last ten Premier League matches produced under 3.5 goals.[/p]
[p]United were losing at half-time in five of their last seven domestic matches on the road.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]No player in Premier League history has accumulated more goals (13) and goal involvements (19) against United than Mohamed Salah, with ten of those 13 goals arriving after half-time. Opposing winger Amad Diallo has scored two dramatic late goals against Liverpool in his young career, the latest of which contributed to him netting the game’s last goal in five of his last seven goalscoring outings for United.[/p]
[p]Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is only set to return next month, while there’s concern over Ibrahima Konate’s fitness after he withdrew from international duty recently. Noussair Mazraoui is in contention to return for United. [/p]
