Premier League: Liverpool vs Man United England Odds
First North West Derby of 2023-24
Liverpool Go on Top of Premier League Table
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool went on top of the Premier League table on Saturday with their 2-1 comeback win over Crystal Palace. The Reds, who are surefire title contenders, take on Manchester United on Sunday in the North West Derby. United are in a bad way, as they lost 3-0 to Bournemouth last weekend and fell 1-0 to Bayern Munich on Tuesday for an early Champions League elimination. The last time these teams met, Liverpool managed a resounding 7-0 win and the Reds will look to pile onto United’s misery. Ahead of the match, let’s check out the Liverpool vs Man United England odds.

Head-to-Head
This is the first opportunity to bet on the Liverpool vs Man United England odds in the 2023-24 season. Last season, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford. In March, Liverpool destroyed Man United 7-0 in what remains United’s joint-heaviest defeat of all time. All of Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nuñez and Mohamed Salah got on the scoresheet twice. In this rivalry match, Liverpool have won four of the last five. Manchester United haven’t won at Anfield since 2016 as well.
Klopp Rests Starters on Thursday
Jurgen Klopp made nine changes to Liverpool’s lineup for their match at Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday. With their Europa League group already clinched, Klopp opted to play a bunch of youngsters in the 2-1 loss. Liverpool’s first team players should be well-rested for Sunday’s match vs. Manchester United. Last weekend, Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 comeback win over Crystal Palace.
The Reds’ Alisson made an absurd point blank save on Jefferson Lerma first half. Palace opened up the scoring in the second half. Then, Mo Salah scored his 200th goal for Liverpool and is just the fifth player in Liverpool history to do so. Substitute Harvey Elliott scored a stoppage time winner for Liverpool. Alisson made another crucial save on Joachim Andersen’s late header. The Brazilian shot stopper has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season.
The Liverpool standings show that the Reds are just one point ahead of Arsenal. Liverpool face Arsenal next weekend in an important EPL clash and they’ll want to head in with a victory. The soccer odds price Liverpool as 1.5-goal favorites for the match as a few players are out injured. Alexis Mac Allister, Thiago, Stefan Bajcetic, Diogo Jota, Andy Robertson and Joel Matip all look set to miss out.
Manchester United’s Worst-Ever UCL Campaign Comes to End
Manchester United lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich on Tuesday, which meant they finished last place in their group. Based on earning just four points in six matches, it was United’s worst-ever Champions League campaign. United also became the first English team to concede 15 goals in the group stage. It’s been a rough week for the Red Devils as Bournemouth got their first-ever win at Old Trafford last weekend.
United fell 3-0 at home and have failed to score in their last two matches at Old Trafford. They have a disappointing 5-4 home record in the Premier League and they’re currently the only team in the league without a draw. United are 9-7 and currently in sixth place in the league. The Premier League odds currently price Erik ten Hag’s side at just +700 to finish in the top four.
It seems unlikely United will replace Ten Hag soon, as any prospective new manager would be stepping into a complete mess. Still, there are reports that he’s lost the dressing room and the level of effort from certain United players has been abysmal recently. United currently have a bunch of injuries and suspensions as well.
Captain Bruno Fernandes is out for Sunday’s match due to suspension, while Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount could all miss out due to injuries. Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are all questionable as well.
