Liverpool vs Manchester United

Liverpool have seven games left to overturn the 1-point gap between them and current Premier League leaders, Manchester City.

Liverpool entered Tuesday’s match in fine form and are now well on their way to completing a historic double.

The Merseysiders also have an excellent head-to-head record against Manchester United in recent times. Since January 2016, Manchester United have beaten Liverpool only twice in the Premier League.

And while several matches between the pair have ended in draws since then, the gap in quality between the two has widened greatly towards the end of the game, with the last two meetings seeing Liverpool got nine points against United’s two.
