Liverpool and Man United meet at Anfield in one of the games of the Premier League season with both sides having more questions than answers right now. 

The Reds' improbable 100% start to the season was ended prior to the international break with three consecutive losses - two in the league - exposing the cracks that had been papered over in the weeks prior. Arne Slot has problems to solve in almost every area of his team with last season's balance noticeably absent. 

United's issues are well-known with this the latest chance for the much-maligned Ruben Amorim to finally win back-to-back league games. They easily beat Sunderland last time out but have yet to win on their travels so far this season. 

Could United get that first away win in perfect style or will Liverpool bounce back as champions often do? The Sporting News brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips, predictions and odds ahead of this exciting clash. 

Liverpool vs. Man United preview: Which club will plunge further into crisis?

Liverpool may have lost three games on the bounce but they have not lost to United at Anfield since January 2016 with Lisandro Martinez's opener in last season's 2-2 draw their first goal at the ground since. 

The Reds have also not lost a home league game in over a year while United's last away win came in March at relegated Leicester City

Almost everything points to a Liverpool win despite their issues and they should have too much for a United side who just cannot be relied upon.

Liverpool vs. Man United Score Prediction 

Dreams of a first Anfield win in almost 10 years and Amorim finally winning two league games on the spin might be just that with Liverpool likely to come out fighting following a poor run of form. 

At some point, they will surely click and, even if not, they should have too much in midfield for United and the forwards to exploit their highly questionable system. 

United should score given Liverpool's defensive frailties but a home win feels likely here.

  • Best bet: Liverpool to win and both teams to score (2.55 with Dafabet
  • Alternative bet: Cody Gakpo to score anytime (2.82 with Dafabet)

Liverpool head into Sunday's clash with Manchester United looking to shake off the frustration of three straight defeats at Stamford Bridge before the international break. With time to regroup and home advantage at Anfield, Arne Slot's men will fancy their chances of getting back on track.

Defensive frailties remain a concern, the Reds haven't managed a clean sheet in six outings and have conceded 13 goals in nine matches so far, so keeping United quiet might be a stretch. Still, Liverpool's attacking firepower should be enough to outscore their old rivals.

Cody Gakpo, fresh off an excellent international window where he netted three goals and provided an assist for the Netherlands, looks a solid shout to find the net again. The Dutchman has scored three times in five league appearances against United, including one in last season's rout at Anfield.
