Man United vs Liverpool prediction: Cavani to perform in stalemate at Old Trafford

Man United may not have a lot to play for now but they do have two chances of securing Champions League football.

United are 7/4 with Betfred but it is Liverpool who are the favourites at 6/4 while a draw is 5/2.

Sitting in second-place and 12 points from fifth with a game-in-hand, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can secure qualification to Europe's biggest competition with a win against their old rivals.

The Red Devils have lost just one of their last 15 home games against Liverpool in all competitions - winning 10 of them - and are unbeaten in their last eight since a 0-3 loss back in March 2014.

Slipping up against Liverpool means Manchester City will be crowned Premier League champions - something Solskjaer will want to delay for another week at least.

Tips

  • Edinson Cavani to score anytime - 8/5
  • Under 2.5 goals - Evens

For a big game like this you need big players and Edinson Cavani demonstrated that on Thursday.

A huge 6-2 win against AS Roma in the Europa League semi-final with the Uruguayan getting the double shows there is plenty in the tank left from the 34-year-old.

He has plenty to offer and will be a nuisance for Liverpool's defence so I'm backing him to be on the scoresheet at 8/5.

The foes last four Premier League meetings have finished in modest outcomes in terms of goals.

In fact, all four finished at under 2.5 goals and with both sides reigniting the rivalry again with both sides playing for Champions League qualification, we could see another cagey affair.

Another match finishing at 2.5 goals is priced at evens.
