Old foes meet at Anfield on Tuesday as Liverpool hosts Manchester United in a key Premier League clash. The Reds can overtake Manchester City for the league lead again if they win.
Liverpool have dominated this match-up in recent years thanks to Mohamed Salah who has scored seven goals in his last five appearances against United. Bookmaker 10bet has the odds at 1.95 for him to find the net again. Cristiano Ronaldo is considered the likeliest United scorer with the odds at 3.25.

Salah even bagged a hat trick when these two first met this season back in October and Liverpool managed to take their unbeaten run in league fixtures against United to seven games. They also have an excellent record at Anfield keeping four clean sheets in five league games in the match-up.
Jürgen Klopp’s men also were firing on all cylinders in the FA Cup semifinal against Man City, which has made them heavily favored to continue their dominance over United on Tuesday. The Liverpool boss even mentioned that the team’s first-half display against City was one of the best he’s ever seen.
The 2020 Premier League champions are currently brimming with confidence and it seems almost impossible to stop them. The team is chasing a quadruple, and whilst it’s extremely difficult to achieve, you wouldn’t put it past Liverpool to actually make it look easy in the end.
United are meanwhile gunning for a top-four finish and their hopes received a boost over the weekend when all of their competitors lost points. The Red Devils weren’t far away from joining the gang as well as Norwich managed to give them a proper headache at Old Trafford, but Ronaldo once again came to the rescue.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored his 60th career hat trick on Saturday and has bagged three goals in both of his last two home appearances. Can he now produce the goods away from home as well? United’s No. 7 has scored 15 league goals this term but only three of them have come on the road.
To beat Liverpool, you will definitely need to have a good performance offensively and get some goals because Salah & Co. rarely shoot blanks. The Reds have failed to score just three times across all competitions and they have netted a whopping 127 goals in total in 52 games.
