Liverpool v Man United odds, prediction and best bets

He may be tall, but his stories are anything but.

Paul Gorst gives it to you straight and his tips for Sunday's visit of Manchester United to Anfield are well worth a look.

Win, lose or draw?

Liverpool haven't lost at home in the Premier League since April 23, 2017 and while Manchester United's excellent execution of the counter-attack at Manchester City last month was a stunning performance, I can't see the Red Devils ending this incredible run for the Reds. Home win. 2-0. The home win is a skinny 1/3 but the 2-0 correct score is a much better 11/2 .

Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?

Roberto Firmino, would you believe, is still without an Anfield goal this season, despite netting nine times in all competitions. Is this the day he finally ends that hoodoo? Why not!? The Brazilian took his goal superbly at Spurs last week, so might fancy it against United.

Despite his form in front of goal he's still 9/2 to score first and 6/4 to score at any time in the match.

Who's on the naughty step? (first card)

Fabinho and Ashley Young have picked up five bookings apiece this season but neither are likely to be involved. I think Harry Maguire - the new Manchester United captain - could find his way into the referee's notepad.

Who's on pens?

That'll be Mo Salah, which is why he's an odds on 19/20 tip to score at any time in the match. But 3/1 first goal has to be considered.

Will The Reds keep a clean sheet?

Yes. Liverpool haven't conceded a goal in the Premier League since Everton's second in the 5-2 Merseyside derby win on December 4. The back five are looking rock solid at present and a Marcus Rahford-less United will struggle to leave their teeth marks in their hosts.

Both Teams To Score 'No' is an excellent 3/4 call.
