Big Boys Set To Slug It Out

6 of the 8 Premier League games featuring these 2 sides have witnessed 1 goal or none at all so far this season.

Both these north-west behemoths suffered humbling defeats last time out but the international break probably came at a good time for them.

If Liverpool and Man Utd return to the performances we have seen in the rest of 2015-16 then under 1.5 goals in the match is pretty nailed on at a best price of 9/4.

The Red Devils began their Premier League campaign with two pretty sluggish 1-0 victories and a 0-0 draw with Newcastle. They have conceded comfortably the fewest shots per game in the top flight (7.5) but both these sides have laboured to some extent down the other end.

Man United have average 3.8 shots on target per game while Liverpool have fared even worse with 3.5. Both rank in the bottom half of the table for this key statistic at this early stage of the campaign.

In a curious coincidence, the Merseysiders have mirrored the results of their hosts by following consecutive 1-0 wins with a 0-0 draw, before an untimely setback.

Expect normal service to resume here in terms of defences predominantly of top.
