Manchester United versus Liverpool, Sunday, January 15  Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp freely admitted that his side was lucky to come away from St. Mary’s with just a 1-0 deficit after a shocking performance against Southampton in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday. That said, the Reds have lost just twice in the Premier League all season and currently lie second, five points ahead of sixth-placed United. Indeed, both sides have been in cracking form in the Premier League in recent weeks; United have taken 24 points out of the last 30 available, including 18 out of the last 18, while Liverpool have taken just three fewer.

Red Devils’ boss Jose Mourinho should be able to welcome back top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic so, hopefully, a repeat of the uneventful goalless draw at Anfield in the reverse fixture back in October seems unlikely. Interestingly, United have conceded just six goals in the first half in their 20 Premier League fixtures so far this season so, for a little variety, let’s try Draw/Manchester United at 5.8 with 188Bet in the Half Time/Full Time market.
