Manchester Utd vs Liverpool: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 10th March 2018
Kick off at 12:30pm GMT
Venue: Old Trafford

Match Preview:

The greatest rivalry in English football will come together once more as Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United will take on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in a tie not to be missed.

For these teams it’s all about pride and finishing in 2nd place to Manchester City. United have held that position for so long and have a two point advantage over the Reds. After a few inconsistent weeks which saw losses against Tottenham and Newcastle, United have fought back with an impressive win over Chelsea and a thrilling comeback against Crystal Palace on Monday night. United have the 2nd best home record in the league and from 33 games at Old Trafford under Mourinho they have lost just 2 times.

Liverpool are in the best form of their season and they have the opportunity to go into 2nd place with a win. They have the disadvantage of having played in midweek before this game, but they were at least at home where they drew 0-0 with Porto in the Champions League, and were able to rest some key players thanks to their large 1st leg lead.
