Liverpool v Manchester United Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Sunday 16^th December 2018 (Kick-off 4 PM)

On Sunday, Premier League leaders Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield, in one of the most fascinating games of the top-flight weekend in England.

Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League but are just a point clear of second-place Manchester City. Meanwhile, United are languishing in sixth place and eight points adrift of the four Champions League spots.

Liverpool are enjoying their best start to a campaign in the Premier League era. The Merseysiders remain the only unbeaten team in the top-flight. Last time out the visitors recorded a 4-0 win at Bournemouth, as Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick.

The Reds are now undefeated in 28 league games at Anfield, having won their last three matches on home soil. Jurgen Klopp’s side has also kept clean sheets in 11 of their last 12 league matches at Anfield.
