Manchester United are going through a tough period right now. They have lost three of their last five league games, including a painful 3-2 defeat at the hands of today's opponents. That loss, plus a few other shaky results, shows they are really struggling to find their form. Liverpool are also not at their best, having lost three of their last five as well, but they did manage a draw in their most recent match. Both teams come into this game low on confidence, but Liverpool have a slight edge having avoided a defeat last time out.

In recent meetings between these two giants, goals have been a common theme. Four of the last five matches have seen both teams score, with high-scoring draws like 2-2 and thrilling wins for each side. Given how both teams are leaking goals at the moment, this is likely to be an open and exciting game. However, Manchester United's current poor run of form, especially with recent head-to-head defeats, suggests that Liverpool are in a stronger position to take all three points.
