In the 17th round of the English Premier League, there will be a match between Liverpool and Manchester United. The encounter will take place at Anfield Road on Sunday, December 17th, with kickoff at 17:30 Central European Time.
Liverpool
The Reds have dived headfirst into the battle for the championship compared to their upcoming opponent. The team has been showing consistent results, yet in recent matches, they win by narrow margins, often scoring crucial goals in the final minutes. Liverpool currently sits in second place in the Premier League table, trailing Arsenal by just a point. However, Aston Villa and Manchester City are hot on their heels.
Manchester United
Manchester United continues to set unwanted records in their club history this season. Under Erik ten Hag, the team disappointingly ended their UEFA Champions League campaign, finishing last in their group. However, the 'Red Devils' can now focus entirely on their performances in domestic tournaments, where there's still time to turn things around. After 16 matches, United is in sixth place, six points behind the top four.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- Liverpool has won all their home matches this season.
- Manchester United has won only one away match out of the last four.
- The Manchester club hasn't won at Anfield since 2016.
Prediction
Bookmakers are offering a low coefficient for a home win, standing at 1.35. I believe United indeed have few chances, and I'll place my bet on the total goals being under 4.
