Manchester United vs Liverpool
Of all the major football games in the world, is there a more fierce rivalry than this? Okay, El Clasico is right up there, as is the Milan Derby.
But not only is this the biggest game in Premier League history, the timing is perfect. Because, as football betting players will tell you, the two teams are more evenly matched than ever before. Take a quick look at our Handicap Betting offer for Saturday’s game. United at 2.58 to win and Liverpool at 2.76, and it could easily swing the other way.
It’s never been so close. Liverpool dominated English football throughout the 70s and 80s, before the power shifted up the East Lancs Road to Manchester for the following two decades. Now they both sit in the shadow of Manchester City, but these two giants are determined to fight their way to the top again. Somehow!
The two managers have different philosophies on how to do it. Jose Mourinho relies on strength and strategy. He has big players for big games and two of those, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, drove his team to a last-gasp victory against Palace last week.
Jurgen Klopp’s team love to attack and boy do they have the players. Mo Salah, with 24 goals, is at odds of 3.00 to be the Premier League top scorer. And if he doesn’t score, look out for Roberto Firmino, who has 13.
Liverpool sure have a spring in their step, having reached a first Champions League quarter-final since 2009, the year after Manchester United won the competition.
And the Red Devils have history on their side, having won 29 of their Premier League clashes to Liverpool’s 17.
But we’re living in the present, and this is as good as it gets!
