<\/head><\/p>\nA heavyweight clash takes place at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday as Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield.<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp\u2019s champions are three points adrift of their old rivals in second place, having slipped off the summit after a run of two points from the last available nine.<\/p>\n
Liverpool vs Manchester United Latest Odds<\/p>\n
However, they are 19\/20 (1.95) favourites with bet365 to leapfrog them back into pole position by coming out on top here.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils have won nine and lost none of their last 11 fixtures in the league, and can be backed at 13\/5 (3.60) to open up a six-point lead at the top with a big win on enemy territory.<\/p>\n
Six of the last nine encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 12\/5 (3.40) on them cancelling each other out once again.<\/p>\n
Liverpool vs Manchester United Team News<\/p>\n
Joel Matip and Naby Keita will both face late fitness tests, with Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas, and Diogo Jota all ruled out through injury.<\/p>\n
Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw and Paul Pogba all returned for Tuesday\u2019s win over Burnley, leaving Victor Lindelof as the only doubt as he struggles with a back injury.<\/p>\n
Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview<\/p>\n
While debate still rages over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s suitability as the long-term manager at Old Trafford, his team\u2019s rise to the top of the table has gone almost under the radar.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, their ascent has shown plenty of hallmarks of genuine title contenders – particularly the ability to turn draws into wins in tight matches against more modest opposition.<\/p>\n
In fact, the Norwegian manager has always boasted a strong record in games against heavyweight opposition, losing just one of three meetings with the otherwise rampant Reds since taking over.<\/p>\n
He will certainly back himself to maintain that record against a Liverpool side that has looked bereft of confidence and creativity in recent matches, with their damaging injury list seemingly catching up with them.<\/p>\n
Liverpool vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions<\/p>\n
On current form, odds of 4\/5 (1.80) seem like solid value on United bolstering their place at the top by at least avoiding defeat on Merseyside.<\/p>\n
