Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview
Liverpool
Liverpool finished 2024 first in the standings, confidently leading and being the main favourites to clinch the title. Arne Slot’s men are currently the best team in the Premier League, losing only once in this campaign.
While Jürgen Klopp’s departure raised some questions, Slot’s arrival proved everyone wrong. Liverpool have won the previous three matches in a row and will try to extend their streak.

The midfield zone, which was problematic for the Reds in almost every season, is currently one of the strongest. Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister combine well with each other, while Curtis Jones provides additional assistance.
Liverpool will meet the match with a handful of absences. Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konaté are sidelined but expected to return shortly.
Manchester United
Manchester United have had one of the worst seasons and are close to relegation. Even the arrival of Ruben Amorim has not changed a thing. They sit 14th with 22 points and three defeats in a row.
The guests have grabbed just six victories in 19 outings. Additionally, only teams from the relegation zone have lost more than the Red Devils. On the road, Manchester have won 2 of 9 games this season.

Perhaps one of the major worries for United is the attitude of players. Amorim emphasized that everything was too difficult for the club, and everyone was performing below par.
The guests have only a few injury worries. Mason Mount, Victor Lindelöf and Luke Shaw will not feature.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool (-1.5) Handicap
- Odds: –125 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Manchester United
In recent years, Liverpool have been crushing Manchester with scores like 4-0, 5-0 and 7-0. The hosts have taken advantage of United’s downfall, and considering their intense rivalry, they will score as many goals as they can.
The situation right now is entirely different for both sides. Liverpool are on the verge of claiming a PL trophy, while United are struggling to secure a place in the top 10.

— Liverpool FC (@LFC) January 2, 2025
Under such circumstances, anything but Liverpool’s victory looks highly unlikely. We think they’re the clear favorites and expect them to win convincingly.
Our first pick of this clash is Liverpool to win (-1.5) handicap.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Mohamed Salah to Score
- Odds: -163 (20Bet)
United is Mohamed Salah’s favourite opponent. The Egyptian winger has scored 12 times already. Due to his current form and Manchester’s decline, we will surely witness plenty of chances from him.
Under Arne Slot, he’s become a key figure for the club, and despite some problems in the contract renewal, even at 32, Salah proves that he can perform at a top level. His speed may have diminished, but the finishing aspect only got better.

He will undoubtedly feature in the starting lineup, and we expect him to trouble the guests’ defenders and net at least once.
Our second pick for the match would be Mohamed Salah to score at any time.
