Our prediction for the match Liverpool vs Manchester United
“The Reds” returned to the top 3 of the English Premier League following the results of the previous season and got a new trophy, the League Cup. It was already known then that it would be the last for Klopp, who had announced his early resignation. Ten Hag, having won the FA Cup, retained his position, despite a sharp failure in both the Champions League and the Premier League.
Erik was eventually replaced in the autumn, and the only thing that is surprising is that the management of “the Red Devils” was holding out with this decision for so long. As a result, Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford in November to clean up the “Augean stable”. Still, the mentor has got a negative balance of wins and losses, and the Portuguese himself said that literally everything needs to be changed after a 0-3 failure in the struggle with Bournemouth. Then there was the exit from the League Cup after the misfire in the battle against Tottenham and “dry” defeats made by Wolverhampton and Newcastle. “The Merseysiders” have diametrically different emotions. They won all 6 matches of the Champions League and will soon play in the semi-finals of the League Cup. As for the Premier League, the team is able to lead alone. And this status has been strengthened by new successes, with Leicester and West Ham.
Salah and the company manage to score 2.5 goals per match. This compensates for the not very reliable defence – the team misses a little less than a goal per round on average. MU is in the middle of the season with a negative balance – 1.11/1.37.
