EPL: Manchester United Vs Liverpool Free Match Preview And Prediction For Sunday 2nd May, 2021 At The Old Trafford.
Manchester United are currently enjoying a 13-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, having recorded seven wins and six draws since losing to Sheffield United in January. In fact, January’s defeat to the Blades is Man Utd’s only loss in their previous 27 Premier League outings. It is also worth noting that Man Utd have only lost five of their previous 33 home games in England’s top-flight.
Manchester United cruised to an emphatic 6-2 victory over Roma in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday. Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani both bagged braces in midweek, while there were also goals from Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood.
Liverpool head into Sunday’s showdown on the back of three straight draws in all competitions. The Reds have been held by Leeds United and Newcastle in recent weeks, as well as Real Madrid in the Champions League. However, things have definitely improved for Liverpool in recent weeks, although a top-four finish may be out of reach.
Liverpool have managed to score at least one goal in each of their last 11 away games in all competitions. Following a poor run of eight defeats in 12 Premier League games, Jurgen Klopp’s men are now unbeaten in their last five league matches (three wins, two draws).
Manchester United secured a 3-2 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford in the FA Cup back in January. Manchester United have only lost one of their last five meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, sealing one win and three draws in the process.
Manchester United have no fresh injury concerns, with Phil Jones and Anthony Martial the club’s only long-term absentees.
Liverpool are still without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip and Divock Origi, while Nat Phillips is also a doubt.
PREDICTION: MANCHESTER UNITED TO WIN.
