✅ Liverpool vs. Manchester United expert pick

⬆️ Over 3.5 goals (+105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It shouldn’t take long for things to get interesting when one of the Premier League’s fiercest rivalries resumes on Sunday. Expect both teams to score in a game that has famously seen plenty of goals in recent years.

Liverpool and Manchester United have endured consistency issues to begin the season. Liverpool are in the midst of a three-game losing streak, capped by a loss to Chelsea right before the international break. Meanwhile, Manchester United have yet to show significant improvement under head coach Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils, who beat Sunderland 2-0 in their last game, haven’t won back-to-back Premier League games since the Portuguese tactician took charge last season.

Favorites Liverpool should emerge victorious, but expect Manchester United to pressure the hosts and make things interesting. I’m backing this game to be a scoring fest like three of the last four meetings and to exceed 3.5 goals. A winning $10 bet at DraftKings nets a $10.50 profit.


💰 Best Liverpool vs. Manchester United player prop bet

Our player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

🔥 Mohamed Salah to score or assist (-165) ⭐⭐⭐

A date with Manchester United could be just what Mohamed Salah needs to break out of his slow start.

The Egyptian star is nowhere near his form from last season when he led Liverpool to the Premier League title with 29 goals and 18 assists. With two goals and two assists in seven Premier League appearances this season, Salah will be eager to pad his stats when he goes up against one of his favorite opponents.

Salah has 16 goals and six assists in 17 games in all competitions for Liverpool against Manchester United. He can become the first player ever to be involved in 20 Premier League goals against Manchester United if he registers a goal contribution at home on Sunday.

A winning $10 bet on Salah scoring or getting an assist against Manchester United will yield a profit of $6.06 over at DraftKings.
