Storylines

Liverpool: Did they use up all of their goals in that 7-0 win over Crystal Palace? Since that match on Dec. 19, the Reds have just one Premier League goal in their final three games, and their drought is at 252 minutes. They had eight shots on goal in that match against Palace but have just seven in their final 270 minutes of action. Their expected goals in those final three games is a complete of 4.48 with 45 shots, yet they only converted that into one goal. Simply put, they’re creating some chances but haven’t finished with the standard precision. To defeat United, they’re going to have to change that trend.

United: Don’t look now, but this team has found some form in the league. The Red Devils have gone 11 matches unbeaten, with wins in five of their final six. The defense still is not at a top level as the club has conceded seven goals in their final six games, but they have got conceded only a type of has come in their final three. Now, that used to be against some inconsistent attacks in Burnley, and Wolves, though the surprisingly potent Aston Villa used to be also in that mix. Against Liverpool, it could be much different. Though the Reds are struggling in attack, they’re bound to bounce back in the future. To steer clear of it being here, Harry Maguire and company will have to limit the mistakes that saw them bounced from the Champions League in December. Playing the ball on the ground at the back, keeping it simple and being aware of their environment will be an important.

Prediction

The Reds, despite their injury issues, contain Bruno Fernandes and bounce back in a big way with the attack taking a look sharp. Pick: Liverpool 3, United 1
