Man Utd vs Liverpool preview
It’s a battle of the cup kings as Manchester United welcome rivals Liverpool to Old Trafford.
Eight-time winners United are the underdogs to win inside 90 minutes after an inconsistent spell under Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have lost two of their last four, but they did manage to return to winnings ways against Everton last weekend.
But though they collected maximum points, they didn’t exactly impress having conceded 23 attempts on their goal and required two penalties to sink the struggling Toffees.
There’s been no such issues for eight-time FA Cup winners and reigning Carabao Cup holders Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been irresistible despite Manchester City halting their seven-game winning streak.
The Reds were unfortunate not to bag three points against the champions and land a significant blow in the race for the Premier League title.
Liverpool hammered Sparta Prague 6-1 (11-2 on aggregate) on Thursday to reach the Europa League quarter-finals, and will fancy their chances of progressing to the final four of the FA Cup this Sunday.

Man Utd vs Liverpool betting tips
Away win
Everything Liverpool touch is turning to gold at the moment.
They won the Carabao Cup with several teenagers in the starting XI. They are joint-leaders at the top of the Premier League table, and they are firm favourites to win the Europa League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are scoring for fun having netted a whopping 37 goals in their last 12 matches – averaging over three goals per game in all competitions.
Manchester United did manage to get a goalless draw at Anfield earlier this season, but that was a somewhat freakish result with Liverpool blanking from 34 efforts on goal. It won’t happen again.

Goals expected
We think Liverpool will win this tie inside 90 minutes – and we think they’ll do it in style. As mentioned, Liverpool can’t stop scoring and now have several first-team players back in action – including superstar Mohamed Salah.
The Reds have had more shots than any Premier League side in their last four matches, racking up 85 efforts.
Meanwhile, only Sheffield United have conceded more than Manchester United’s 89 efforts at goal in the last four Premier League games. Though beating Everton last week, Erik ten Hag’s side still let up 23 shots against a side who’ve scored ONE away goal in 2024.

Darwin alert
Very few players can match Liverpool’s enigma Darwin Nunez for efforts at goal.
In fact, only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland can better Darwin’s 86 efforts at goal. The Norwegian has had 91 shots in the Premier League this year, but it took him over 300 minutes more.
Nunez had another SIX attempts during the Europa League win on Thursday, and he’s averaging a shot every 18 minutes in the league.
Only two players (Haaland and Ollie Watkins) have had more league shots on target in the 2023-24 campaign and, again, it took them both far more minutes.
