Manchester United – Liverpool
Sunday, January 24, 7:00 p.m. Old Trafford, Manchester. Chief Referee: Craig Pawson. Live broadcast on the Setanta Sports television channel.
Manchester United have gained good form in recent English Premier League matches. Thanks to a successful series of 13 matches in a row, in ten of which they were victorious, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pupils are now the leaders of the standings after 19 rounds, earning 40 points.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still has bad luck with the trophies as head coach of the “red devils”. The Norwegian specialist has reached the semi-finals of tournaments four times with his team, but never made it to the final stage. This also happened this season, when Manchester United were eliminated from Manchester City in the English League Cup.
As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp’s coaching staff only deserved flattering reviews for most of the last segment of the current season. “Red” managed in every possible way to avoid the recession in a playful way, despite a series of injured players on the defensive line. However, this literally lasted until the so-called Boxing Day, after which the Merseysiders lost their status as the leading team in the Premier League.
At the moment, Liverpool do not know of any English championship victories in the last five games. In addition to a goalless draw with Manchester United, the Reds they tied with West Bromwich and Newcastle, and suffered minimal losses to Southampton and Burnley. By the way, it was the failure in the game with “Burgundy” that interrupted Liverpool’s impressive streak at Anfield in the Premier League, which lasted 68 matches in a row.
According to the bookmakers, it is very difficult to pinpoint the unconditional favorite of the next match. Thus, odds of 2.60 are offered for Manchester United’s victory, while Liverpool’s potential success is estimated at an incredible 2.65 indicator. The probability of a tie is represented by probabilities of 3.60.
Did not play: Jones, Williams, Red – Van Dyck, Jota, Gómez, Keita
Questionable: Matip – Henderson.
