Head-to-head:
Although Manchester United holds a slight advantage in their head-to-head record against Liverpool, they have only won once in their last 11 league meetings. Liverpool will be eager to capitalize on their recent momentum and secure a crucial win to maintain their title aspirations.
Prediction:
With Liverpool motivated to secure a win to keep their title hopes alive and United facing confidence issues after their recent defeat to Chelsea, we predict Liverpool to emerge victorious by at least two goals.
