Liverpool vs Manchester United prediction
The Premier League meeting between Liverpool FC and Manchester United will take place on Sunday, 19.10.2025 at 6:30 PM GMT +3 at Anfield. This fixture, on Matchday 8 of the season, brings together two of English football’s most storied clubs in a contest that combines historical rivalry with current-season implications. Liverpool arrive with 15 points and sit second in the table after seven matches (5 wins, 0 draws, 2 defeats, goals 13:9), while Manchester United occupy tenth place with 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, 3 defeats, goals 9:11). The last direct meeting produced a 2:2 draw, and the head-to-head across the last five encounters shows a balanced picture: two Liverpool wins, two draws and one Manchester United victory. Given Liverpool’s perfect home record this season (3 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats) and Manchester United’s winless away record (0 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats), this fixture is poised to be finely contested but with a clear home-side advantage.

Betting prediction — Main tip: Home win (Tip 1)
Betting prediction: Liverpool to win. The principal betting tip for this match is a home victory for Liverpool (Tip 1). Several factors justify this selection: Liverpool’s superior points tally and higher league position; their strong scoring rate (13 goals from seven matches); and an unblemished record at Anfield this season. Conversely, Manchester United have failed to win away so far and carry defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded 11 goals in seven matches. The psychology of playing at Anfield under Arne Slot, combined with Manchester United’s inconsistent away form under Rúben Amorim, weighs in favour of the hosts. Best available odds for this market in the provided data are with Betwinner at 1.58 for Tip 1.

Both teams score? Yes
Betting tip: Both teams will score — Yes. While the principal expectation is a Liverpool victory, the second betting tip forecasts goals at both ends. Manchester United have accumulated nine goals and possess attacking capability that, despite away struggles, has found the net in recent fixtures. Liverpool’s own attacking profile makes them likely to score, but their defence has conceded nine times already this season and was breached as recently as the last league outing. Given the tendency of both sides to produce open moments and the historical pattern of this fixture (recent meetings have included multiple goals), both teams scoring is a credible outcome. The best quoted price for Both Teams to Score — Yes in the supplied data is Paripesa at 1.48.
Under 3.5 Goals
Betting tip: Under 3.5 goals. The third betting prediction is an Under 3.5 goals market. Although both teams have shown an ability to score, this contested, high-profile fixture is likely to feature tactical caution from both coaches. Arne Slot’s Liverpool and Rúben Amorim’s Manchester United will both be mindful of transitions and set-piece threats, and managers often prioritize structural discipline in matches of this magnitude. Historical head-to-head contests and the recent 2:2 draw suggest goals are possible but not in an excessively high volume — hence the recommendation for Under 3.5. The odds for the Under 3.5 market are 1.74 on Betwinner.
Correct score prediction: 2:1 Liverpool FC
Betting tip: Correct score 2:1 to Liverpool. The fourth and final tip is a projected correct score of 2:1 in favour of Liverpool. This outcome combines the expectation of a narrow Liverpool victory with the anticipation that Manchester United will score at least once. A 2:1 result aligns with the view that Liverpool’s home advantage and attacking potency will be decisive, but also acknowledges United’s capacity to penetrate Liverpool’s defence on occasion.

Statistics for Liverpool FC vs Manchester United
Liverpool FC team news!
Manager: Arne Slot. Liverpool head into this fixture with 15 points from seven matches and a positive goal difference of +4 (13 scored, 9 conceded). Their record at Anfield this season is flawless: three wins from three league games on home soil. Recent competitive form across all competitions shows two wins and three defeats in the last five matches, indicating some inconsistency despite the strong league position. The most recent match saw Liverpool lose 1:2 away to Chelsea FC, a result that will have sharpened focus ahead of this high-profile encounter. The club’s home performances remain a cornerstone of their campaign, and Slot will be expected to set up a side capable of controlling tempo and exploiting chances inside Anfield.
Manchester United team news!
Manager: Rúben Amorim. Manchester United have amassed 10 points, scoring nine and conceding eleven in their seven matches so far, and currently occupy tenth place. Their away form has been a problem this season — no wins, one draw and two defeats on the road — and that trend will be a concern when traveling to a demanding venue such as Anfield. Recent form across the last five matches stands at three wins and two defeats, indicating resilience and the ability to produce positive results, as evidenced by their most recent 2:0 home win over Sunderland AFC. Amorim will need to devise a plan to blunt Liverpool’s offensive threats while extracting value on the counter.

H2H statistics
Across the five most recent meetings in all competitions between these clubs, Liverpool hold two victories, Manchester United have claimed one win, and two matches finished in draws. The most recent direct meeting ended in a 2:2 draw, which underlines the likelihood of another competitive, goal-containing contest. The historic balance in these fixtures suggests neither side holds an overwhelming psychological advantage, but current-season form and home advantage tip the balance.
Last results Liverpool FC
In their last five competitive fixtures, Liverpool have recorded 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Their current form is therefore mixed; while capable of strong performances and high-scoring displays, recent inconsistency has introduced questions about defensive solidity and match-to-match continuity.
Last results Manchester United
Manchester United’s form over the last five matches reads 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. This indicates a team that can produce positive results but remains vulnerable on occasion. Their away struggles, however, remain a notable limiting factor when evaluating their prospects at Anfield.

Conclusion
On balance, Liverpool enter this fixture as the favourites. The combination of superior league position, a perfect home record this season and the advantage of playing at Anfield under Arne Slot provides a strong foundation for expecting a home victory. Manchester United possess attacking resources and recent positive results, but their winless away record and defensive frailties reduce the likelihood of an away triumph. The consolidated view: primary betting prediction — Liverpool to win; secondary selection — Both teams to score: Yes; third selection — Under 3.5 goals; and a final projected correct score of 2:1 in favour of Liverpool. As always, bettors should consider form, team news and market prices prior to placing stakes.
