Not Backing Ole Is Folly
Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard may both be fit enough to play a part in this clash of the titans with so much at stake. Liverpool haven't done much wrong yet but the momentum belongs to the hosts.
For so long I talked about how oddsmakers were in denial about the steady demise of Manchester United under Jose Mourinho. But here we are with the situation reversed and somehow the prices suddenly seem generous!
The Red Devils are best odds of 11/5 to beat their title-chasing arch-rivals. It would actually be the 8th time Liverpool have faltered at Old Trafford in their previous 10 visits.
But we can possibly afford to get a little greedy and back United to win with both teams to score at best odds of 9/2 with BetFair.
Liverpool have scored in all their away league games while United have only kept 1 clean sheet at the Theatre of Dreams. It promises to be a gripping watch.
