Liverpool’s impressive start to the season sets them up as favorites for their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford. With the highest expected goals (xG) and the lowest expected goals against (xGA) in the league, Liverpool’s solid defensive and offensive metrics suggest they could dominate the proceedings against a Manchester United side struggling for consistency.
The Red Devils have only managed four wins in their last 12 league games and are coming off a disappointing defeat at the Amex Stadium. Their inconsistent form, highlighted by their performance against Fulham and a loss in the Community Shield, contrasts starkly with Liverpool’s robust start under new manager Arne Slot, who has led the team to two clean sheets and successive victories.
Mohamed Salah, who has an exceptional scoring record against Manchester United with 14 goals in his last 11 appearances, is again the player to watch. His form—scoring in both of Liverpool’s opening games this season—makes him a prime candidate for an anytime goalscorer bet.
