Liverpool – Manchester Utd Predictions and Preview
- After the departure of Jürgen Klopp, 2024 was expected to be a disappointing year for Liverpool. However, Arne Slot stepped in and has expertly built on the foundations laid by the German coach, leading the Reds to a healthy lead in the Premier League. With Klopp’s help, Slot led Liverpool to end 2024 with 92 Premier League goals scored – their second-highest total in any top-flight year in the club’s history!
- Not least five of those goals came against their fiercest rivals and upcoming opponents Manchester United, three of which came in a routine 3-0 win at Old Trafford earlier this season. Slot is now on a mission to make history, as he could become just the second Liverpool manager to achieve the double over United in his first season, matching George Kay’s feat from 1936/37.
- Fortunately for him, confidence in the away side seems to be at an all-time low for multiple reasons. One of them is that in their last nine trips to Anfield, United have scored just once and gone without a victory (D4, L5). Their recent form only points to a continuation of this poor run, as they have lost each of their last three Premier League games by a score of 0-0, leaving them languishing in the bottom half of the table.
- This puts manager Ruben Amorim at risk of setting some harsh records against his name. His side could not only lose four consecutive league games in the same season for the first time since February 1979, but also potentially go without scoring for the first time since April 1909! He will likely have to plan an intense attack to avoid this unwanted history becoming a reality, especially after United conceded 18 goals in all competitions in December, their most in a calendar month since March 1964.
- Players to watch: Mohamed Salah’s record-breaking season could get even better in this match. He will aim to add to his incredible 21 direct goal contributions (G15, A6) in his last 12 games against United. The visitors’ best hope may lie with Amad Diallo, who scored a dramatic late winner when these two met in the FA Cup last season, guiding United to their only win in the last five head-to-heads (D2, L2).
- Hot stat: Liverpool have won 11 of their last 15 home games by a multi-goal margin.
