If you’re looking for key stats, trends and analysis ahead of Sunday’s showdown, you’ve certainly come to the right place. Read on to discover what our AI algorithm predicts.

Manchester United looked destined to claim all three points in midweek, only for Cole Palmer to score twice after the 100-minute mark to snatch a 4-3 victory for Chelsea.

As a result, the Red Devils have managed to win just one of their last five Premier League matches, suffering three defeats in that sequence.

Still, Erik ten Hag’s side have remained consistent at Old Trafford, winning five of their previous eight home league games while scoring over 1.5 goals on five occasions.

It is also worth noting that Man Utd have lost only eight of their last 50 home games across all competitions, so they will back themselves to frustrate Liverpool.

As for the visitors, they survived a scare to eventually defeat Sheffield United 3-1 on Thursday, thanks to late goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.

Despite finishing the game with 84% possession and 29 shots, Jurgen Klopp’s side were drawing until the 76th minute before Mac Allister’s thunderbolt.

That victory extended Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven matches, with six wins and one draw coming since their last loss.

Having suffered a solitary defeat in their previous 23 league encounters, the Reds will be confident of picking up another positive result at Old Trafford.

Head-to-head: Last month, Manchester United claimed a dramatic 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

However, the Red Devils have managed to win just one of their previous 11 Premier League meetings with Klopp’s side, suffering a humiliating 7-0 thrashing last year.

Team news: Manchester United are currently without injured quintet Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Martial.

Liverpool also have a number of injury absentees, with Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, and Diogo Jota on the sidelines.

When you couple Liverpool’s impressive form with Man Utd’s poor recent record in this fixture, all the signs point towards an away win this weekend.

Forebet predicts that Liverpool will claim all three points at Old Trafford, with the visitors also expected to keep a clean sheet.
