Liverpool v Manchester United correct score betting markets are very interesting considering the form of both teams, and the fact that the score was 7-0 last time out.
The hosts sit pretty at the top of the Premier League (PL) table after a late winner at Crystal Palace last weekend, while the visitors lost 3-0 at home to AFC Bournemouth, and have recently crashed out of Europe. This has added more pressure on Erik ten Hag, who has seen other managers emerge as potential candidates to replace him this week.
The two giants of English football have played each other 176 times in the PL era, with United just coming out on top with 67 wins, Liverpool winning 59 and there being 50 draws. However, the Reds have had the better of the most recent encounters, winning six of the last 10, with the Red Devils only victorious once, and three draws recorded.
Nonetheless, certain key trends are noticeable when analysing the previous encounters, and we have provided some that you may want to keep an eye on in the betting markets:
