Manchester United vs Liverpool Prediction

Manchester United claimed a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield in October, and the Red Devils have outperformed their bitter rivals this season.

United have only lost one of their last six games against the Merseysiders across all competitions, and head into Sunday's clash on the back of three wins from their last five matches in the Premier League.

Both teams have scored in six of the hosts' last seven league games, so don't be surprised if we are treated to goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend.

Liverpool arrive in just as good form as their hosts, winning three of their last five in the league. Both teams have scored in six of the visitors' last eight Premier League matches, adding further weight to our scoreline prediction.

There has been much talk over the last week about Bruno Fernandes and whether he is an option for the Player of the Season award. The stats don't lie, and the Portuguese midfielder has been a constant threat in the final third this season, with 27 goal contributions in the Premier League alone (eight goals and 19 assists).

The former Sporting man has provided nine assists and scored two goals in his last nine outings for club and country.

Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool
