Manchester United vs. Liverpool
The weekend concludes in Manchester on Sunday as United gears up to host Liverpool in a marquee clash. The Reds are a flawless 2-0-0 (6 points) under new manager Arne Slot. The Red Devils are 1-0-1 (3 points) after suffering a 2-1 road loss to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. ET from Old Trafford in Manchester.
While Liverpool has been the better overall club the last couple of seasons, it certainly hasn't come at United's expense. The Red Devils went 1-2-0 against the Reds across all competitions last season, which includes a 4-3 United win in the FA Cup. At even money, I think it's worth a shot to play United +0.5 goals in this spot. They posted a solid 10-3-6 record at Old Trafford last year, meaning they were 13-6 (68.4%) against this line of +0.5.
This will be Liverpool's toughest test this season, as they've breezed past Ipswich Town (2-0) and Brentford (2-0) to start the campaign. Both of those teams rank 15th or worse in xG this season, while Manchester United has been the third-best club at 3.9 xG. I believe that Erik ten Hag's bunch have enough firepower to keep pace at home in this match, and I think they can at least pull out a draw.
Bet: Manchester United +0.5 (-110)
