Liverpool and Manchester United meet at Anfield with the champions desperate to halt a three game losing streak that’s shaken their early season momentum.

Arne Slot’s side have looked unusually fragile, conceding late goals and struggling to impose their usual intensity. Yet the markets still heavily favour them, underlining both their strong home form (five wins from five in 2025-26) and United’s poor form on their travels.

Rúben Amorim’s men have gone eight away league matches without a win and rarely threaten top sides on the road.

Their defensive data tells the story: they allow few shots, but when opponents do break through, the chances tend to be high quality, the worst xG per shot faced in the division.

That could spell trouble against Mohamed Salah, who has a HUGE 19 Premier League goal involvements versus United.

Liverpool’s defence remains leaky and that’s the angle I want to exploit.

Benjamin Sesko To Score @ 3.25 Bet365, Paddy, Sky, betfair

Liverpool’s defensive issues means we can attack the proposition markets. The Reds have conceded in eight of their last ten across all competitions and are averaging 1.3 goals against per game.

They haven’t kept a clean sheet in six straight, which gives in form Benjamin Sesko a chance to extend his scoring run.

The Slovenian has now scored in back-to-back matches and is averaging 3.4 shots per 90 minutes since joining United.

He’s growing in confidence, consistently getting into shooting positions and capitalising on space in behind, exactly where Liverpool have looked vulnerable this season.

Bryan Mbeumo O2.5 Shots @ 3.25 Bet365

Bryan Mbeumo has been one of United’s most consistent players this season, averaging 2.81 shots per 90 minutes.

He’s hit over 1.5 shots in six of eight games and gone over 2.5 in five of eight, a surprisingly small gap between the two lines.

With the over 1.5 priced at just 1.66 and the over 2.5 available at 3.25, the value clearly sits with the higher line.

Mbeumo isn’t shy about pulling the trigger from distance if you find yourself a nice price on him to have a shot outside the box.

Mohamed Salah To Score 2.2 Skybet, 2.1 Bet365

Salah’s record against Manchester United is remarkable. 16 goals in 17 appearances, including four in his last four meetings with them.

Even if he hasn’t quite hit top gear this season, he remains Liverpool’s most consistent attacking outlet. He also scored twice for Egypt during the international break and continues to register plenty of chances and shots.

United’s away defence has been poor, failing to win in eight away league games and allowing one of the highest xG per shot figures in the league.

With Anfield behind him and a soft United backline, Salah looks primed to deliver again.
