Liverpool are heavy favorites in the top match against Manchester United. Prediction, 05.01.25

ManU slips more and more into crisis

Published on 30.12.2024 14:25.

The new year begins with a real top match. The two record Premier League champions meet at Anfield Road on January 5. The role of favorites is clearly distributed, as Liverpool is confidently at the top of the table. Manchester United, on the other hand, are slipping further and further down the table and are in a serious crisis. Despite the change of manager, the situation has not improved so far and 4 of the last 5 games in the league have been lost. Coach Ruben Amorim is not yet under pressure, but at some point he too will have to deliver results. Liverpool, on the other hand, can play freely with an 8-point lead over second place. The Reds want to remain unbeaten in their 24th competitive game in a row.

Liverpool FC is unstoppable this year

For many, it is an absolute demonstration of power that Liverpool FC has shown this season. Top of the Champions League table, top of the Premier League table and semi-finalists in the EFL Cup. Liverpool have set the tone in every competition so far, and their lead in the league in particular is worrying for their opponents. Liverpool have 45 points after 18 games, which is 8 points more than their closest rivals. 14 of 18 games have been won, with the only defeat coming against Nottingham Forest in September. After scoring 14 goals in the last 3 league games, they now have the best offense. They also managed to keep a clean sheet once again in the 5-0 defeat a few days ago. The Reds have scored at least two goals in 14 of their last 15 competitive matches. At Anfield Road, 18 goals have been scored in 9 games so far. Above all, the defense is the big trump card here, as only 6 goals have been conceded in return. Liverpool have not yet lost to a single top team and celebrated a 3-6 away win at Tottenham a few weeks ago. They also won their first match of the season against Manchester United 3-0.

Liverpool currently have the best player in the world

The best team in the world at the moment also boasts arguably the best player in the world. Mohamed Salah is leading all important statistics so far and has scored 17 goals in 18 games in the Premier League alone. As if that wasn't impressive enough, he has also provided 13 assists! This makes a total of 30 scoring points in just 18 games. He also scored 2 goals and 4 assists in the Champions League and scored one goal in the EFL Cup. This means he is directly involved in almost 50% of all Liverpool goals.

Manchester United is a construction site

ManU have often thought to themselves - it can't get much worse. But so far this season they seem to have set a new negative record. Never before have the Red Devils been so badly placed at Christmas as this season. Since then, another defeat against relegation candidates Wolverhampton has been added to the list. It was their third defeat in a row after losing to Bournemouth and Tottenham. They are now only 14th in the table and are already almost 10 points behind the top six. If they continue to lose, the relegation battle cannot be ruled out. Coach Ruben Amorim certainly imagined his debut to be different, but 5 out of 10 games under his management were lost. During this period, the team conceded 19 goals.

ManU need goals to win

The visitors can only dream of a player like Mohamed Salah at the moment. Their top scorer at the moment is Bruno Fernandes with just 4 goals. Marcus Rashford also has 4 goals, but was not even nominated for the squad recently. Their two center forwards Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Höjlund have just 5 goals between them. In a total of 9 away games, the visitors have only scored 8 goals. As a result, only 2 of 9 away games were won, 3 ended in a draw and 4 were lost.

ManU will not create a sensation - Our prediction

Liverpool are certainly on a different level to Manchester United at the moment. Anything other than a home win would therefore be very surprising. Liverpool's offense has been particularly impressive in recent games. ManU, on the other hand, are hardly scoring anything at the moment, which is why we would rather bet on under 3.5 goals. The first clash between the two also ended 3:0 for Liverpool.
