We’re in the endgame now. The Premier League season has entered the final stretch with just eight or fewer games remaining for the majority of clubs. There’s a lot on the line at both ends of the table, as we know, and we’re bound to see plenty of twists and turns in the weeks to come. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Manchester United and Liverpool.
Manchester United Form GuideManchester United supporters have spent the last decade experiencing brief moments of joy, but for the most part, their inconsistency has really hurt them on the pitch. Erik ten Hag is the latest manager to try and make a difference at Old Trafford, but there are still far more questions than answers for the Red Devils as we approach a critical few months for them.
Nobody ever really knows whether United are coming or going. They beat Nottingham Forest, then lost to Manchester City. They beat Everton and Liverpool, then drew with Brentford. Then, earlier this week, they conceded twice in a matter of minutes to lose 4-3 to Chelsea in stoppage time.
Liverpool Form GuideLiverpool are coming off the back of a big League Cup win and while they should be allowed to take time to celebrate that, they’ll also want to keep their eyes on the future. With this being Jurgen Klopp’s final season in charge, they need to do everything in their power to help send him out on top - and if they play their cards right, that could mean winning the treble.
Liverpool dominated Sparta Prague over two legs in a triumphant 11-2 aggregate win. Alongside that, they drew with Manchester City in the league and lost to Manchester United in the cup, before rebounding with two big victories over Brighton and Sheffield United.
Match PredictionIt’s the biggest fixture in English football by a fair distance and we expect to see these sides put on the kind of game that rivals their FA Cup clash just a few weeks ago. It’s going to be quick and it’s going to be relentless, but when the full time whistle blows, we believe Liverpool will walk away with the win.
