Liverpool vs MU score prediction: Red Devils lose
The match between Liverpool vs MU on the evening of January 5 at Anfield will be a dramatic confrontation within the framework of the English Premier League.
Below are the analysis and score predictions for this match.
Liverpool form
Liverpool are in impressive form under manager Arne Slot. The Port City team is leading the Premier League table by 23 points over Manchester United. After ending 2024 with an impressive 5-0 win over West Ham on December 29, Liverpool will enter 2025 with the aim of continuing their form. Their unbeaten run has now stretched to 23 matches in all competitions, including four consecutive wins.
Liverpool have an excellent home record and look likely to score at least twice in their 12th consecutive Premier League game. While their defence may be a little shaky, their 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in September was a testament to their strength.
Liverpool's squad
Although Liverpool will be without Joe Gomez through injury, manager Arne Slot could be able to call on Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley. Both will need to prove their fitness after more than a month out, but their presence would add stability to the defence. Dominik Szoboszlai could also return to the squad after suspension, although Curtis Jones has been impressive and will be hard-pressed to give up his place.
Manchester United's troubles
While Liverpool are flying high, Manchester United are facing disappointment. Coach Ruben Amorim's team just suffered their fourth consecutive defeat, including a 0-2 loss to Newcastle on December 30. MU is now only 7 points above the relegation zone and is in 14th place, a very difficult situation. In particular, this team is lacking in scoring consistency, as they have not been able to score a goal in the last three matches.
Manchester United squad
However, MU also has important returns. Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte will return after suspension, while Marcus Rashford has also returned to the squad. However, the absence of pillars such as Mason Mount, Luke Shaw or Victor Lindelof will further weaken MU's squad.
Score prediction
Based on the above analysis, Liverpool has a clear advantage over MU in this match. With high form and home advantage, Liverpool will likely continue to maintain their impressive winning streak. Although MU will try, the current situation does not support them, especially when this team is facing difficulties in terms of force and form.
With stars like Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo in the ascendancy, Liverpool are predicted to win 3-1. This match promises to be very dramatic and bring many attractive moves.
