Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview
Two of the largest football organisations in England will participate in their upcoming contest against one another within the North-West Derby match and this particular match up carries significant weight regarding potential outcomes associated with the Premier League’s top-four standings.
Currently, Manchester United holds the number 3 overall position in the current PL standings at 61 points earned to date. They require only two points earned from any of their remaining four matches in the league to qualify for next year’s UEFA Champions League.
The Red Devils have also demonstrated that they can be very successful by scoring goals throughout all of Michael Carrick’s 13 matches managed thus far this season while serving as manager.
Their recent games have been very good, especially at Old Trafford, where United have won 6 of their last 7 league matches. The likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko have been the main contributors to their attacking successes. Fernandes is having a great season and is just one assist away from the Premier League single-season assist record of 20.
On the other hand, Liverpool comes into the game having won their last three league matches against Everton, Crystal Palace, and Fulham. Even though they had a pretty tough time during the beginning of April, the Reds have now found their rhythm, which is very important at this stage of the season.
But Liverpool's ability will likely be damaged badly if injuries do strike. Missing Mohamed Salah, and with questions over the ability of Alisson Becker are major blows defensively, but dangerous threats in attack, such as Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, and Alexander Isak, can surely be a threat against any defence.
The two sides have already met this season in a thrilling game at Anfield, in which Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire's goals earned Manchester United a 2-1 win, so you know they will want to get their revenge at Old Trafford.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Match Prediction
Match Winner: Manchester United
Heading into this enormous Premier League matchup, Manchester United seems to have the advantage. Their recent home performances are excellent, and they have had an extremely good run of form with all of Michael Carrick’s work to change the club into a more positive and aggressive team going forward.
Additionally, United will ride the momentum from their two most recent wins, especially as Bruno Fernandes continues to play at a world-class level each week. The combination of Fernandes' creativity with the speed of Bryan Mbeumo and the scoring ability of Benjamin Sesko creates one of the most dangerous attacking structures that United has had in many years.
