The sight and sound of Joshua Zirkee, a £36.5 million summer signing, being cheered after he was substituted off after 33 minutes was brutal, but summed up the mess at United. The narrative is now that Manchester United are in a relegation battle. And questions are also being asked about how long they will persist with Ruben Amorim in charge. The former Sporting Lisbon boss already looks to have run out of ideas about how he can turn the club around. Liverpool vs Man Utd betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly. Liverpool vs Manchester United betting tips Although this isn’t a Derby match, it is an intense rivalry at a Derby level. That is the only thing that gives Manchester United any chance in this match. But even using that theory would require a massive leap of faith to give United any chance of getting a result in their current form. Liverpool won 3-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season. And that was a let off for the Red Devils. It should have been a bigger win. Furthermore, Liverpool have recorded wins of 7-0 and 4-0 over United in recent years at Anfield. The match is more in danger of becoming a banker three points for the Merseyside team, than it is a competitive Derby.

Liverpool to win and under 4.5 goals
Manchester United have lost their last three with under 4.5 goals scored in each match. At Anfield, Liverpool has won seven times this season in the Premier League, all of them with under 4.5 goals scored.
Furthermore, most of Liverpool’s big wins have come on the road. They have come in recent weeks. But across that same period, the Reds were held to a 2-2 home draw and they did have problems against Leicester in the first half of their 3-1 Boxing Day win at Anfield.

Manchester United can’t afford to play an open and expansive game. They will get hammered if they do. And United manager Ruben Amorim is already under immense pressure and can’t afford a big hammering.
We expect to see an improved United. Not an improved enough version to prevent a Liverpool win. But enough to keep the scoreline respectable.

Cody Gakpo to score or assist
Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz have almost been involved in their own private battle to gain the trust of new Liverpool manager Arne Slot this season.
Gapko has five goals and two assists in the Premier League. Diaz has eight goals and two assists.
The Colombian has the upper hand over the course of the season. But in recent weeks it’s Gapko who has come to the fore.
The Dutchman has three goals and one assist in his last four. He has only played 286 of the 360 minutes.
In contrast Diaz has three goals in three matches across that period. The Columbian was an unused substitute in the 3-1 win over Leicester City.
We can see Gapko getting the nod to start ahead of Diaz against United. If he does he is great value to be involved in a goal at just under even money. If Diaz gets the nod, he is 5/6 in the same market and worth taking instead.

Over 42.5 booking points
Manchester United haven’t shown much fight in their three recent Premier League matches. They only received one yellow in each of the matches against Newcastle and Bournemouth. But they did wrack up two yellows and a red (45 booking points) in the 2-0 defeat against Wolves.
It’s hard to understand what is going on here. Teams that are struggling will usually show a bit of fight and try and fire the crowd up. But United don’t seem to be doing this – certainly not at home.
Surely United have to show a bit of fight and spirit when they face Liverpool. They will be met by a hostile crowd. So it will be a case of either sink or swim.
We expect more bite and aggression from the Red Devils at Anfield. If they don’t show any here, then where will they do it?
